Someone in my neighbourhood is using what I believe is un-seasoned wood.
It smells smokey, like cigarettes.
They were burning it evey day, but it stopped and I thought that maybe they were using garden waste and now it was all gone, but yesterday it stated again, from the afternoon until 1:30 this morning.
It's bound to start again later. I have to use the electric fan to get releif from it, but I don't want to spend chilly winter days like that.
The trouble is, I suffer from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and so anything like this effects me more that it does other people, but all the same, there's talk about banning smoking it public places, so surely it can't be legal to burn smokey wood constantly like this?
I don't know which home it's coming from. Is there anything that can be done?

it depends where you live. smoke control zones were introduced in 1956 after the pea souper smogs that killed so many people. if you live in a town it is likely that they should not be burning anything that produces excessive amounts of smoke. this site will explain the law.

There is nothing you can do about it. Unless they are committing a crime, like burning a body or something, then they are well within their rights to burn any kind of wood they choose.
Sorry.

Also your local council should be able to advise

you need to ring your local council and ask them what you can and cant burn - different councils have different rules!!
