Report a bonfire nuisance

You can use this form to report a bonfire nuisance.

Bonfires can be considered a nuisance if it affects people or property. It can cause harm and can be unpleasant if the smoke is dark. Although it's not against the law to have the occasional bonfire, it could be intrusive and dangerous.

Before making a formal complaint we advise you to speak to the person having the bonfire to resolve the issue. They may not be aware that they're causing a nuisance so talking to them would be the first step. If there is no success in solving the problem then we may be able to help.

Before you start

You'll need:

  • your own contact details
  • the address of where the problem is
