The Parks Trust has made the decision to not allow BBQs in Milton Keynes parks from June 1st, due to increasing public safety risks.
The Parks Trust wrote on social media:
"We have taken the decision not to allow BBQs in any of our parks from 1st June 2022 due to the increasing risks to public safety and the environment.
"Disposable BBQs are a dangerous fire risk and over recent years members of our team have had to put out numerous bin fires and deal with fire damage because of discarded or uncontrolled BBQs.
"Recently, large groups have been gathering in and misusing BBQ areas in the parks and the associated litter and mess that this has created has put increasing pressures on our team and resources.
"In preparation for the 1st June, our team are removing the BBQ areas at Campbell Park, Caldecotte Lake North and Simpson Road today.
"We thank visitors in advance for their cooperation and understanding and please ask that you take your litter home."
