Fed up of selfish people having fires


Recommended Posts

There are rules for fires, certain times you can and cannot have them etc, and also what you can and can't burn...

 

There are no laws specifically controlling bonfires on domestic properties.

 

You can only work with "nuisance" laws.

 

Fire services can extinguish dangerous fires or ones producing hazardous smoke.

If smoke and fire is the biggest problem to mention on forum you are lucky.

There are much worse neighbours about than that. It doesn't justify the smoke but you got to know that i rather see some smoke than have noisy neighbours.

I thought Sheffield became smokeless in the 60's.

 

It did.

 

That doesn't preclude people from having a bonfire. Bonfires are meant to be occasional things, so if the same person keeps having a bonfire you can complain. Unfortunately if there are 365 properties and each has a bonfire on the same day, that would be classed as infrequent
