We noticed on Oxhey Village Green this morning, that there was a patch of burnt grass where someone had probably used a disposable bbq. We ask everyone to avoid doing anything at all which risks starting a wildfire, especially given the hot and very dry conditions we are currently experiencing. However careful or responsible people think they are being, it only takes a small spark and a fire could end up destroying the green and possibly even the play area. We know that some councils have placed a ban on barbecues in public spaces as they have led to fires all over the country, including the wider Watford area.
Please also talk to children and young people about the risks that wildfires present to our wildlife, people and our green spaces.
Thank you
