I have lived in West Wickham for 13 years and have constantly been bothered by smoke from bonfires.

Will people please consider the elderly, who live in one-room apartments and who cannot escape to another room to get away from the smoke?

I know several people, including myself, have signed a petition which was sent to the council, stating they have chest complaints.

The council’s reply was: “If you can give us a name and address, we can do something about it.” As I am disabled and cannot go round looking for the offenders, I think it is about time the environmental people at Bromley Council look into the matter.

After all, we all pay council tax.
