Complain to local authority Environmental Health that the continued and prolonged bonfires are a statutory nuisance. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, the Council is obliged to take action where a statutory nuisance exists.

The notice may be served on Scandinavian Lady or her Parents if they are the owners or managers of the land concerned.

Another possibility is an injunction against bonfires but you'd probably need to know the identity of the culprit.

For both of the above you don't need 24 householders to all complain, but it will be more effective if you have mmultiple complaints.

When does the problem allotmentee's 'tenancy' of the allotment expire? Would it be feasible for you to offer to take it over?


And flag it.
