- Please be considerate over bonfires!
- We continue to receive complaints of some residents burning their waste on bonfires. We would ask that residents be considerate to their neighbours and avoid having garden bonfires at this time.
- Smoke from bonfires can aggravate health issues for vulnerable residents, cause additional stress to those trying to enjoy their outside space, and the risk from uncontrolled fires could impact on an already stretched fire service.
- If you are subjected to the above; then, to maintain good neighbour relations, you may wish to discuss the matter with your neighbour(s) or the manager etc. of the neighbouring premises if it is a business, as they may not be aware that there is a problem.
- NFDC advise residents to store their waste until it can be collected or composted. Should frequent bonfires which impact on another property continue to occur, residents may wish to make a formal complaint see http://www.nfdc.gov.uk/bonfires if it is a constant problem.
