Please, no bonfires

Please, no bonfires We have received reports that some residents are burning garden waste at their properties.
Please do not burn garden waste, paper, or any other waste, under any circumstances. Be mindful of neighbours and fellow community members. The smoke and smells from bonfires can aggravate respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis and affect those with heart complaints and this is particularly an issue given that Coronavirus attacks the respiratory system.
Please compost garden waste, keep it in a safe place or put into your garden waste bin. We are updating our website and social media regularly with kerbside collection information. Continue to put into general waste in your green-topped refuse bin.
