As the dry, hot weather continues, ºù«ÍÞapp Borough Council is reminding visitors to its parks that barbecues are not allowed.

Thousands of people flock to ºù«ÍÞapp’s beautiful parks and gardens every week so the council is reiterating the ‘no BBQ’ message to protect its green spaces, woodlands and wildlife.

The recent weather has left all of the town’s green spaces extremely dry and at a very high risk of wildfires. Having a barbecue on dry ground could be very dangerous – just a small ember could cause a huge fire.

We have several beautiful parks – let’s keep them that way. Barbecues are not allowed in any of our parks; they are extremely dangerous and can cause huge damage.

Grass fires can quickly get out of control so residents are urged to call 999 if they see any smouldering.
