I thought stubble burning had been banned? At least it has been here for several years now.
I had a situation with a neighbour a couple of years back who constantly lit bonfires that burned for several days. I wrote to the local council who sent them a letter under an environmental health act telling them to stop burning rubbish or they would be prosecuted. Are local authorities different in the way they approach this?
