Closed Ban bonfires during daylight hours

Closed on

Ban any bonfire from occurring before dusk. Bonfires create excessive smoke which has an impact on the quality of air for the community. Everyone is entitled to fresh air and should be able to enjoy their garden.

Bonfires can cause breathing difficulties and are particularly dangerous for anyone suffering with health conditions such as asthma, and can be a risk to the health of children and the elderly. It is also a strain on our emergency services when fires get out of control, and a strain on the environment when clothes need rewashing.
