00:00 So I'm a local resident from Lodgemoor which is local to the burning here and when I stepped
00:05 out my front door I could smell the burning in the air and as I walked higher up I can
00:11 see the smoke coming from the moors and drifting over down all the way down towards the city
00:17 centre.
00:18 It's quite a thick black plume and it's really kind of drifting down following the wind into
00:23 the valley and sinking down in there.
00:26 These are my own views but I don't agree with driven ground shooting and the impact it has
00:32 on raptors and other wildlife and we can see also the air quality issues that are associated
00:38 with it here.
00:39 So it's not to say that anything unlawful is necessarily happening but there are questions
00:45 around the environmental impact.
