NO to lanterns for NHS

The Parish Council urges residents to not support sky lantern campaign.

Seale and Sands Parish Council joins the National Fire Chiefs Council, RSPCA and other organisations in urging residents to not support a social media campaign to light sky lanterns on Thursday night.

We will be joining in the national #clapforcarers applause at 8pm and encourage our residents to do the same, but sky lanterns are a danger to the
environment and wildlife and a fire risk and we ask residents not to light.

Our commons and surrounding areas are very dry so any naked flames in these areas could cause a major fire problem. Please be smart and encourage others to do the same.

Thank you.
