DUE TO THE ONGOING HEAT WAVE AND EXCEPTIONALLY DRY WEATHER, THE COUNCIL IS TEMPORARILY BANNING ALL BONFIRES ON ALLOTMENT SITES WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. 

THIS PRECAUTION IS NECESSARY TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANTLY HEIGHTENED DURING HOT AND DRY PERIODS. 

THIS BAN WILL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL THE COUNCIL NOTIFIES IT HAS BEEN LIFTED. 

YOUR COOPERATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
