Ban garden bonfires within urban areas (settlements of 10,000 or more people)

Petition Details

Make it illegal to have a garden bonfire in any urban areas, so local authorities have clear powers to take enforcement action against any garden bonfires in their urban areas, without it needing to constitute a 'statutory nuisance'.

Additional Information

This would complement measures being introduced to protect air quality, like those relating to wet wood in wood burners. We believe there is no longer any need to have garden bonfires given green waste collections. This could help people reduce their use of energy by enabling them to dry laundry outside. Similar to the recently highlighted case of car pollution affecting children's health, burning garden waste is a factor affecting our heart and lungs, putting pressure on the NHS.
