Legal Bonfires

Where do we stand on having a communal bonfire?

There are a few families in my area (Woodnook) want to get together and have a sensible bonfire but where and is it legal just to start a blaze? there is a large piece of deralict land near my house but i don't want to get in trouble we want to do it right and put on a really enjoyable night for the kids.

Can anyone give me any advice or know where i can go to find out where we stand?

The numpties next door to us light one the other year and the fire brigade came and put it out. Having said that our houses to back onto Accy Con Club and the fire was dangerous. So always best to get advice with the added bonus of hunky firemen!!!

I heard a little story when back in Church over the weekend. A few people are organising a bonfire with a difference. Insread of a Guy going on top of the woodpile, there is going to be a caravan - scaled down size, of course. Still, its the thought that counts. I think its a splendid idea.

That's how the locals give them 'the gypsy's warning'

Re: Legal Bonfires

You need to ask permission from the owners of the land if you can hold a bonfire there. You also are not allowed to burn certain items on it. An arranged bonfire - you need people to act as stewards to stop people getting close to the bonfire and if you are having fireworks a person with a licence to set them off.
