With so many people staying at home it is even more important that residents are respectful and considerate towards people who live around them.
Among advice on how to be a good neighbour during the lockdown the council is calling on people not to light garden bonfires.
Wood smoke can have a serious effect on people with medical conditions such as asthma and heart disease.
It is particularly important that residents do not attempt to get rid of household rubbish by burning it, as this is likely to release toxic gases.

Unfortunately there are some individuals who are using the current situation to try to scam people through fake emails (also known as phishing).
Hampshire County Council Trading Standards Service has put together a list of tips to avoid being defrauded.
Scams include the sale of fake vaccines, fake tests, fake protective equipment and fake hand sanitisers.
Scammers are also pretending to be the HMRC offering ‘goodwill payments’ or charities looking for donations.
They are targeting residents by phone, letter, text, email, online or on the doorstep.
Report fraud and cyber crime to ActionFraud or call Citizens Advice on 0808 223 1133.
