requests to hold events / activities on our land that include balloons and / or sky lanterns will be politely refused unless alternatives can be found (see some suggestions below)
user agreements / licences / terms of agreement will be updated
council representatives on Event Planning and Safety Advisory Group panels will enforce this motion on council land and discourage the release of balloons and sky lanterns on non-South Ribble Borough council land
anyone seen with large numbers of balloons / sky lanterns on council land will politely be asked to leave and dispose of their balloons responsibly rather than releasing them
consideration of the potential to instigate enforcement action against any person responsible for creating litter by releasing or allowing the release of balloons or sky lanterns under the Environmental Protection Act 1990
we will encourage other landowners, parish and town councils, schools, individuals and event organisers to consider doing the same.
