@LBofBromley please help with stopping people burning in their gardens, this is a regular occurrence, filling my house with smoke. I've reported via website but no change to behaviour @will_harmer @BanBromBonfires @LiveableBromley @GreenercleanerB

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

Are those in #Orpington, #PettsWood, #Chislehurst, #Keston, #Bickley and #WestWickham aware that the #AirQuality Management Area is being enlarged to include them? Means air quality has worsened. Please encourage all residents to respond to survey👇.

@neill_bob I’d encourage everyone who responds to ask for greater measures to tackle nuisance bonfires such as the daily one we have in St Mary Cray - see pic of tonight’s burn. This is the biggest air quality issue in Bromley currently and council powerless to stop. @GreenercleanerB

[Ban Bromley Bonfires @BanBromBonfires]

Terrible. 500 Bromley residents have gone to the trouble to complain to @LBofBromley in the last 4 months about bonfires but not one incident was deemed to be a statutory nuisance. Something is wrong....

[Stephen Sangster @SteveSangster]

Probably biggest fire I’ve seen in the 7 years I’ve been witnessing the St Mary cray fires. The operation is becoming more industrial by the day. Pollution levels through the roof @LBofBromley @KateLymer @Pierce_Chris_D @GreenercleanerB @BromleyLFB @GarethBaconMP @LiveableBromley

[Ban Bromley Bonfires @BanBromBonfires]

@andrewjruck @LBofBromley It’s only since I’ve started monitoring PM levels I’ve realised the impact bonfires have. Here was the impact of a small bonfire earlier. Thankfully a short lived one but dangerous for a period.

[Ban Bromley Bonfires @BanBromBonfires]

@andrewjruck @LBofBromley In the draft report for consultation they have set an ambition to reduce pm2.5 but no hard targets as they have for pm10 or No2. As to your second question I do not know

[Ban Bromley Bonfires @BanBromBonfires]

@andrewjruck @LBofBromley Yes that is the sum of it Andrew! Bromley council propose setting targets for all other pollutants except PM2.5 which are potentially the most damaging. Particles so small they enter your bloodstream.

[Stephen Sangster @SteveSangster]

Nightly burning continues in St Mary Cray. Particularly dangerous when residents windows will be open on this warm night. Will it ever end? @LBofBromley @KateLymer @neill_bob @GarethBaconMP @Pierce_Chris_D @LFBTerryGooding @GreenercleanerB @LiveableBromley @NewsShopper

[Ban Bromley Bonfires @BanBromBonfires]

@LBofBromley not planning to commit to a PM2.5 target in the next 5 years. Our one official monitoring site reveals we are nearly twice the WHO safe level of 10ug/m3. No word about impact of bonfires in the report. @GreenercleanerB @LiveableBromley @FoEBromley @BromleyLibDems

[Ravensbourne Valley Residents @RVResidents]

What exactly are you breathing in? NOX? Particulates? Bromley have just released documents about future air quality - see docs here:- https://t.co/DdH6rPdOaM
A consulation will follow shortly- see https://t.co/cQWsLsiIsU in due course

Bromley bonfire group formed to lobby for ban on nuisance backyard burns https://t.co/SIpI34MhjO

[GreenerandcleanerUK @GreenercleanerB]

@aisha_cuthbert @legasafe Would @LBofBromley like to use this poster to help residents during this #respiratory #pandemic? We can share a high res & logo free copy? Allowing residents to print a copy from council website when needed will help raise awareness locally & change the #Bromley #bonfire culture

[Ban Bromley Bonfires @BanBromBonfires]

@ashfieldlane @saferchis @VisitChis @KemnalRoad Thank you. Here was a bonfire last night in Orpington but sending toxic smoke towards Chislehurst.

[Ban Bromley Bonfires @BanBromBonfires]

New data shows Bromley has missed out on air pollution reductions - partly due to the number of bonfires we are suffering. We are calling on Bromley council to ban bonfires during COVID19. Please sign the petition:

Sound advice

[LFB Bromley @BromleyLFB]

Great news. Please make use of these facilities instead of having bonfires at home

[AdaK @AdaKatom]

Seems like @LBofBromley trying to set #bonfires #airpollution record in #London. Day after day, night after night. @cleanairforall2 @airqualitynews @LondonAir @AirFairy04 @mwt2008 @DefraGovUK @PHE_uk @standardnews

@ashfieldlane @GreenercleanerB @AirFairy04 Could be this one I’ve just spotted on the telescope whilst observing the Moon.
