"COAL SALES TO END"
You may have heard the news that the government wants to phase out the sale of coal and wet wood from February 2021.

This is the latest information we have.

  IT IS NOT A BAN ON COAL & WOOD BURNING STOVES 

What The Changes Will Mean

Owners of wood burners, stoves and open fires will no longer be able to buy house coal or wet wood, under a ban to be rolled out from 2021.

You can use up any such fuel you already have in stock - the ban will be on the sale - not the burning of them.

Sales of bagged traditional house coal and wet logs from outlets such as petrol stations and supermarkets will be phased out by February 2021

The delivery of loose house coal direct to customers from fuel merchants will end by 2023 - so you will still be able to get coal delivered for another 2 years.

Sales of wet wood in small amounts will be phased out from February 2021. Wet wood in volumes greater than 2m cube will also have to be sold with advice on how to dry it before burning

Makers of solid fuels will also need to show they have a very low sulphur content and only emit a  small  amount of smoke.
