Just visit all the district, and possibly county, council websites
and search for "bonfire".


But to be fair, it all depends. My garden is very long with literally a
mile of fields after that, so no-one will notice if I light a bonfire.

I understand it can be a problem with a smaller garden so Mike might like
to check with his council about bonfire rules in his area.





But why would anyone need a bonfire? We haven't had one for as long as I can
remember and just take stuff to our compost bins on our allotment or to the
Council Recycling Centre, job done.
We have one neighbour that seems to always choose the warmest evening, when
everyone has their windows open and washing out, to light a fire and it is
always the smokiest and revoltingly smelliest fire you can imagine. Our
local Council rules do allow for bonfires with the proviso that they don't
annoy neighbours but that is just stupid and unenforceable IMO.
