Question for Rural dwellers.

Thumbs_Up

Do you have problems with near neighbours who overdo the garden bonfire shenanigans that borders on a nuisance. In towns and city’s especially during the summer their should be a ban on such a thing. Is it more acceptable with the other smells you get in the countryside?

Life in the country is different to the town. People dislike townies moving to the country and rewriting the rules.

Folk in t'country should be just as thoughtful and considerate as townies, and there does come a stage where regular fires clearly can become a nuisance. It really comes down to the purpose of these fires, how often they occur, at what times, and who is affected. Any other neighbours feel the same?

Your council should be able to advise.

Life in a new city conveys its own nuisance odours, mostly the nasty pungent stench of marijuana.

That's not true! I live in the country and my neighbours and I are very welcoming of everyone. Nobody, in all the time I've been living in the country, has ever tried to rewrite any 'rules' because we don't have any!

NO. I live in the country and in my experience, the people who love bonfires are in towns and cities. 

We who live in rural environments don't want to spoil them and prefer to compost rather than burn.

It's true in the part of the country where I live. They don't like it when people move here from the city to retire and complain about noise from animals from a cockeral in the morning. 
Farmers around here often have a massive fire going at the end of the week.
Some of the things that annoy the locals are a bit OTT, like someone moving in and renewing the inside of the house.

Country lass here born & bred ,it's not for everyone & those coming in from town can take ages to adjust.

There aren't many  rules but as long as no one uses poisons , can accept  wildlife (especially badgers) run off with food bins , deer lay down & just look at you as you're walking the dogs & keep dogs on a lead as farmers don't like their live stock chased & will shoot them if they catch them .

Strange noises at night (it's when the countryside comes alive )

Fires aren't too much of a bother , the smoking dung heap gets a bit iffy sometimes but basically life is a lot slower & no one ever rushes
