Bonfires and smoke

Bonfires are not an acceptable method of disposing of domestic garden rubbish or commercial trade waste.

They cause extreme nuisance and are the subject of many complaints to Environmental Health. For trade waste there are very strict penalties for adversely impacting on the environment or human health.
