Safe burning of your garden waste 

Autumn is upon us, time to cut back the Summer hedges and tidy up the garden.

If you wish to burn your garden waste ensure you do the following:

  • notify our control room of your intent to burn on 01443 232000
  • inform your neighbours beforehand
  • build your bonfire a safe distance away from your house, garden fences and shed
  • check for overhead cables
  • only burn dry materials as there will be less smoke
  • do not build it too high
  • do not leave it unattended (keep a bucket of water close to hand)
  • once the bonfire has died down, spray the embers with water to stop it re-igniting
