Bonfires

In the run up to bonfire night can I ask members to keep an eye out for anything that looks to be an unofficial bonfire or collections of trash that could be burned amassing on public ground. 
At this time of year people may be slowly gathering together a pile of material with the intention of burning it near to bonfire night on public areas / waste ground.  These 'unofficial' and unsupervised bonfires could cause several issues.  1.) The materials being gathered and thrown on the pile by various people may not be suitable for burning and may lead to fumes being released / fires getting out of hand.  2.) Such bonfires could be a nuisance for any neighbours who live around the open ground.  3.) If being lit by young / unsupervised people such a fire could become a hazard.
Equally, if there are large collections of trash in a particular area, at this time of year it could be ignited and cause further issues.
If these collections are reported then they can be flagged up and collected by the local authority where appropriate.  If anyone notices anything that fits the above description on public / waste ground please contact the street cleansing department via the following contact details:
