Actually Southwark is a smokeless zone and if this is regular occurrence the Council can prosecute, you have my sympathy my neighbours burn any old stuff in their fireplace and some winter nights are piling smoke into the atmosphere.

Bbq's, Pizza ovens and burning a wood fire outdoors isn't illegal under the clean air act. However, wood and organic matter is usually ok, whereas plastic, bituminous coal

(house coal) and such material isn't.


But if you're burning wet leaves in a confined area, on a regular basis, then it can be classed as a nuisance and a smoke abatement order sought.


Different laws at work here, in that ones environmental, the other antisocial I believe.


That's the jist of it, but the devil's in the details.

Dude you are the kind of guy that I would call brain-dead. You can't realise that the smoke caused from your garden waste is going to affect the whole area around you?


Wake up and stop burning crap in your garden.

On the subject of brown bins, we have a 100ft garden and manage our garden waste via one compost heap and put out about 20-30 paper sacks (from the library) per year. We don't have a big fugly brown bin in our front garden, those things are empty most of the time and an eyesore.

The rules used to be (the last time I needed them for an anti-social neighbour who ignored our pleas)- and before the introduction of the garden waste bin.

1 bonfire per month that burns for 1 hour at dusk - that was it


I agree with tomskip that no-one should need to burn garden waste.

Yes, but sadly we don't have the choice of one or the other.


So bonfire smoke is added to traffic fumes.


Apart from the smell getting on washing etc, it is really bad for people with chest complaints.


I was recently exposed to bonfire smoke for a couple of hours. I didn't notice any breathing difficulties at the time, but my asthma was very bad for several days afterwards.

Yes, of course it's, Mars Bonfire.

A fellow with a workaday enough name but reinvented himself in the best possible way as the rather great Mars Bonfire.


THAT'S MARS BONFIRE DUDES, DUDETTES AND DUDELETTES!!


I suppose it's easy enough to just go an' look up on Gurgle what the great thing he did was, but don't.


I implore you.

    • I spoke to a sound engineer at Piermont and he mentioned the software they use which tries to absorb the sound into the landscape
    • I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another? 
    • Found now. All safe.   Found now!
    • We are on Friern Road and can not  hear Gala tonight, each year it depends on direction of wind, but we can hear Kneecap who are playing in Brockwell tonight....
