Bonfires

Bonfires

There are no byelaws relating to bonfires in West Wiltshire, but the Council can take action where smoke from bonfires is considered to be a nuisance. ‘Nuisance’ is a legal term which means that the smoke interferes with someone’s right to enjoy their house and garden.

For further information on bonfires contact the Council's Environmental Protection section - telephone 01225 776655.
