How to deal with bonfires:
Bonfires may seem a convenient waste disposal method but there are other alternatives to having bonfires available.
What is wrong with bonfires?
-
The smoke, smell and debris from bonfires can be very annoying to neighbours and stop them from enjoying their garden, prevent them from opening their windows, or hanging out washing.
-
Bonfires can produce irritating and even poisonous compounds that can contribute to poor air quality.
-
Bonfire smoke can also cause a hazard to road users by reducing visibility.
-
Bonfires can cause a fire hazard if they are close to trees or fences and especially if left unattended.
