Bonfire in Malthouse Meadows - Richard (21st Sep 2020  18:27:57) Well you're breaking several of these you inconsiderate **** -------------------------------------------------- If you must light a bonfire, ensure that the material to be burnt is dry. This will minimise the amount of smoke produced. Do not light a fire when the weather conditions might cause the smoke to travel into your neighbours' gardens or property. Remember that smoke will hang in the air on a damp, windless day and in the evening around sunset. Position any bonfire as far away from buildings as possible. Do not light a fire if the wind will carry the smoke over roads. Never leave a fire to smoulder - put it out with water or soil. remember, heaps of garden refuse provide a haven for small animals such as hedgehogs. Check before you light. Take care to keep children away from a bonfire. Supervise burning as much as possible. Burn only dry plant/wood waste. Avoid burning any wood that is treated/painted or any other household waste. --------------------------------------------------------------- These are the guidelines as listed on EHDC website. Please follow them or face the consequences

Re: Bonfire in Malthouse Meadows - Jon (21st Sep 2020  19:35:59) What consequences are those Richard?

Re: Bonfire in Malthouse Meadows - John (21st Sep 2020  20:09:22) Clearly there are no consequences for the subject of Bonfires in Liphook is easily the most repeated thread in all the years I have used this forum.

Re: Bonfire in Malthouse Meadows - Dollypops (21st Sep 2020  21:00:37) Bonfires versus Landfill Bonfires any day - of garden rubbish at al (not rubber tyres etc., obviously). It's part of living in the country rather than in town. Am I alone in loving the smell of a country bonfire?

Re: Bonfire in Malthouse Meadows - James (21st Sep 2020  23:13:53) Have you tried speaking to the occupants?

Re: Bonfire in Malthouse Meadows - Pete (22nd Sep 2020  07:23:53) Dollypops- Your not alone.

Re: Bonfire in Malthouse Meadows - Richard (22nd Sep 2020  14:19:50) Dollypops and Pete This was not a country bonfire. Forget romantic notions of the crackle of autumn leaves. This stank and people had their windows open and washing out. Complete inconsideration and selfishness on the part of a moron.

Re: Bonfire in Malthouse Meadows - Jen (24th Sep 2020  13:15:02) Dollypops, the vast majority of rubbish collected in Hampshire does not go to landfill. It is incinerated and generates electricity sufficient to power 53,000 homes. Surely, if rubbish is going to be burned, it's better to do it in a way that at least has some benefit, rather than inflicting clouds of smoke on the occupants of neighbouring properties?
