Please don't annoy the neighbours!

It seems spring is officially here and everyone is creeping out of hibernation to clear their plots for the season ahead.

For some this means bonfires.

If you are going to have a bonfire can you please be respectful of our neighbours and make sure the wind is blowing away from the houses.

I've already received one complaint from a  normally very tolerant neighbour and would not want this to escalate.


·      Keep fires small if possible and do not leave to burn unattended.

·      Make sure the wind in blowing away from houses.

·      Try not to light fires when people are likely to have washing out, or windows open.

·      If other people have fires lit, don't join in!


Here's a link to where we stand legally on bonfires. There's also advice on how to get rid of waste rather than burn it.
