‘Be fair on bonfires and noise’ message as people stay at home

‘Be fair on bonfires and noise’ message as people stay at home

Be a thoughtful and fair neighbour - that’s the message from our environmental health team to residents while they stay at home during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The team is asking people to act more thoughtfully towards their neighbours and consider whether the noise from their home could be causing problems and upset to others. For the same reason, the team is also urging people to be more tolerant and patient with noise and activity that they won't be used to hearing. We all need to show good will at this time.

The team is also urging people not to have any bonfires because of the problems smoke will be likely to cause their neighbours. Anyone who is tempted to have a bonfire is asked to think again because of the impact of filling the air with smoke, particularly as a neighbour could be unwell.
