Individuals living in a square of pads in Exmouth have been prohibited from setting up Christmas improvements exterior their homes - on account of wellbeing and security concerns.
The limitations have been forced at Cart Court in Exmouth by East Devon Region Gathering - who possesses the square.
Authorities say lights and other happy things, for example, wreaths in the structure's passages represent a fire peril.
Yet, neighbor Dr David Bargain says he thinks the chamber is applying guidelines "a little unreasonably" - and that the notification board where the boycott was stuck up could be considered itself to be a fire danger.
The entire thing depends on a fire wellbeing report that was done per year prior. It would be acceptable if there could be a facilitating of rules - it appears to be a little unseasonal.

Valerie Drew says she's appalled at the board's demeanor.
For the beyond 12 years she has consistently placed a wreath on her front entryway in memory of her mom and father, Winnie and Leslie Conway.
They aren't simply demolishing Christmas, they're destroying everything...Now they let us know that can't have lights or wreaths. It's crazy - we are adults, not youngsters. I'm not sure how they will burst into flames. I don't head to sleep with the flame lights on. They think we are feeble.
Valerie Drew, occupant
In any case, the board says the action was taken after a wellbeing assessment by the crisis administrations.
At the point when the fire authority as of late reviewed our pads they emphatically suggested that all common regions should be kept clear. In the event that an entryway bursts into flames and sets a wreath land, the blazes could move quickly over the hall and this is the manner by which a fire could spread in practically no time.
Cllr Jill Elson, East Devon Region Chamber
Councilor Jill Elson added: "obviously with Christmas moving toward we need everybody to have a good time and we like that beautifying for the happy season is something our occupants like to do.
"Anyway I realize no one would need this at the expense of causing a hazardous circumstance that at last puts lives in danger."
