A number of residents
have contacted CRA asking for guidance on what can be done as they have been
affected by their neighbour's bonfires during this period of lockdown and
suspension of the garden waste collection service. The official Government Bonfire Guidelines can be found at https://www.gov.uk/garden-bonfires-rules. These are the national rules which apply in Three Rivers. There may also be local bylaws to further limit the use of bonfires, e.g. in clean air zones. If a bonfire is causing you a nuisance, TRDC recommend in first instance approach the person causing it and politely make them aware. Often people are not aware that they are causing a nuisance. There is a more information on the TRDC website at https://www.threerivers.gov.uk/egcl-page/bonfires including a complaints procedure. |
