Evenin' all,
My somewhat "alternative" (hippy) neighbours have decided that - seeing as the weather's improved considerably - to build a fire at the bottom of our (shared) garden. Now, whilst this isn't necessarily bothering me too much (I shall be turning my attention to my beloved Fulham on the telly shortly), immediately beyond the end of the garden, is the Wimbledon / Sutton loop on the FCC line. The wind is blowing the smoke from said fire across the train tracks.
Any idea of the rules and regulations for these situations, people? I've looked on the Wandsworth Council website and apparently whilst not encouraged, the odd bonfire or two is allowed. But surely not directly next to a train line? Seems a tad irresponsible of them, if you ask me. Plus, you hear of delays / suspensions due to lineside fires, but I'm not overly au fait with these things to be honest. Are they referring to actual building fires etc, or do smaller ones such as the social event at the bottom of my garden have an impact on services?
