nasty smell in Hollycombe close. - julian (22nd Jun 2018 - 19:46:59) We were looking forward to an enjoyable glass of wine in the garden this evening. Unfortunately somebody has been creosoting their shed today so now we are sat in doors. I wish neighbours would think of others before undertaking such tasks!

Re: nasty smell in Hollycombe close. - helen (22nd Jun 2018 - 22:55:10) you could always tell your neighbours face to face that you do not think he should creosote his shed when you might be in the vicinity. Failing that move to a house further away!

Re: nasty smell in Hollycombe close. - Alan (23rd Jun 2018 - 06:36:35) If he really is using creosote then he is most likely breaking the law. Since 30 April 2003 retailers can no longer sell creosote and coal tar creosote wood preservatives to the general public in Great Britain Since 30 June 2003 general public can no longer use creosote and coal tar creosote wood preservatives in Great Britain See hse.gov.uk/biocides/copr/creosote.htm
