People will only be allowed to put certain things in their woodburners across the Wirral
People could be fined up to £1,000 for breaching a blanket ban that’s being introduced to tackle air pollution in Wirral . The ban on burning certain things at home is being brought in by Wirral Council across all parts of the borough including parts of Bebington and Clatterbridge wards which previously had no restrictions.
” Smoke control orders were first brought in due to the large number of deaths attributed to air pollution and smog, a fog caused by smoke, in 1952. However since then solid fuel has shifted from coal to wood which has led to an increase of small particles linked to “an increase in associated illnesses, such as the risk of pneumonia, COPD and lung cancer, as well as heart disease and stroke, leading to early death.
