Is it okay to have a fire in your garden


Recommended Posts

It's not illegal,but it is very inconsiderate towards you nieghbour's

 

Yes...towards your neighbour's WHAT? Please don't stop mid-sentence!

 

Anyway, surely a fire in an oil drum would only be objectionable if the oil drum had any oil residue left in it?

It is not against the law to have a fire as long as it is under control and monitored. Nothing anyone can do. I.E the police will have the fire brigade came and assess the fire. As long as the fire is under control , Small fire have a circle of bricks around the fire that’s ok. …. Large field fire have a trench around the fire that’s fine. Nothing the police can do!. The same argument can be made about cars parked against the house. Surely if the car caught fire the house would burn down. Nothing anyone can do. Moped scooter against the kitchen window. Nothing anyone can do.

...................you are wrong there smarty pants! I would be out like a rat up a drainpipe, ( and have been in a previous property!) mind you I live in a decent area and people respect the fact that we put rubbish in the bin, take it to the tip or hire a skip. Simples!

 

Going to be out a lot tomorrow night then are you?

This old thread needs reviving...

 

I read on the council website we're supposed to approach neighbours whose bonfire is causing a nuisance in an amicable manner before considering any serious action.

 

The thing is, despite having my windows shut (so I guess my windows aren't up to much) today the inside of my flat stinks like burnt plastic, because somebody's burning stuff in the next street.

 

Seems crazy to me that burning stuff in a built up area is allowed - read up on the particulates from wood smoke, you'll see it's no safer than cigarette smoke, particles too small for the body to filter entering the lungs and linked to increased strokes and heart attacks. Lovely to think that someone has filled my home with that stuff :help:
