CHINESE lanterns are to be banned from council owned fields at Furze Hill.
Mistley Parish Council has followed the lead of Tendring Council and banned the setting off of lanterns from all of their land.
Speaking at a meeting on Monday councillor Frances Fairhall said: “They look lovely but they are dangerous.”
Earlier this year Lawford Parish Council also banned the releasing of lanterns from their land.
