Ban households from burning their rubbish in their gardens

Petition Details

We want the Government to ban people from burning rubbish in their garden instead of disposing or recycling it as I believe they should. I think having daily fires in built-up urban areas is beyond a joke. It can make people ill and affect people's daily lives.

Additional Information

While there are restrictions on what you can burn in your garden, where I live fires are still a daily occurrence around the whole area, with multiple garden fires a day. As a result I feel you cannot hang washing out to dry, let your kids play in the garden in the summer without having to call them in as the smoke is billowing and filling gardens, and you have to keep your windows closed even in the summer. It can affect people's health and breathing. I think most of the people in my area burn their rubbish instead of disposing of it accordingly.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
