Hi everyone. I'm a newbie on this forum. Does anyone know the rules on
lighting bonfires in England? I have a few things, weeds, cuttings, etc,
that I would like to incinerate. I don't know if I would be allowed to.

Best of all is to make a compost heap. I don't burn anything.


Or take it down to your local tip where they recycle green waste. That way
you won't annoy your neighbours on a sunny day like one of ours constantly
does with his foul smelling smoky fires.

Bob not sure what the Act is, but he can be warned and prosecuted as a
'nuisance'. Do you have a Community Police Officer? They will have a quiet
word with them. I had this a while back with a neighbour somewhere, (I
couldn't pin it down as to where it was) with a radio on very loud. It
sounded as if it was coming from the other side of the railway line. Anyway,
CPO doing the rounds had it dealt with very quickly. She reported back to me
with an apology from the offender!!!
