Stop bonfires in residential areas before 10.30pm
Rejected

What the petition asks
Bonfires within residential areas are becoming more of an issue. The local authority advise against them but have no powers to stop them if they are controlled.
This has been an issue for many years within local communities. However since the covid19 pandemic local councils have been unable to collect garden waste and household waste recycling centres have not been open as often. This is only causing an issue for local residents and polluting the environment.
