Burning issue

COUNTRY-DWELLERS are now told it is illegal to have a bonfire, even if it is just a small garden one.

There are reports of helicopters scouring the countryside for evidence of people innocently burning non-toxic garden branches, etc.

Is there one law for those living in the country and another for those in towns who are seemingly allowed to have large bonfires on specific days of the years with little, if any, control as to what is being burnt?
