OTHER NOTICES

FIREWORKS:
Sussex Police have asked us to post the following notice -
The majority of the Firework Regulations 2004 came into force on 7th August 2004, and introduced a number of measures to tackle the anti-social use of fireworks. The regulations make it a criminal offence (subject to exceptions stated in the regulations):

  • For a person under the age of eighteen to possess a firework in a public place.
  • To use certain fireworks between the hours of 2300 and 0700.  With the exceptions of :
    • 5th November
    • First day of the Chinese New Year
    • Diwali
    • New Years Eve
    • To possess Category 4 fireworks

Please consider the following actions in order to keep Rotherfield and surrounding areas, a peaceful, calm place to live for everyone. Please ensure that you can enjoy your celebration / event without issue:-

  • Inform ALL your neighbours
    • Give as much advance notice as possible so that animals can be tranquilised or kept indoors.
    • Perhaps give neighbours a note that they can keep as a reminder
    • Put a note on local notice boards.
    • Contact the landowners of surrounding farmland
    • even if fields aren’t directly adjacent to your property – the sound and debris of fireworks travel great distances and disturb more than just your immediate neighbours
    • landowners need the opportunity to get their livestock into barns/shelters/other locations, in good time.
    • Animals are often left out in fields at night, especially during the summer months.
