Broadland District Council have passed a motion supporting the National Farmers’ Union campaign to the Government to ban the sale of and public use of releasing sky lanterns (commonly referred to as “Chinese lanterns”), as they are a danger to the environment and can harm animals.  The Parish Council have agreed to support this ban and as such are asking residents to also support this by agreeing to not release such lanterns within the parish of Felthorpe.  The Recreation Ground Committee have also agreed to support the ban by adding it into the terms and conditions of its hiring agreement.
