At this evening’s INWAC meeting, Sue Buckle gave a brilliant and passionate speech on the damage that barbeques cause to the Moor, the resources that are wasted dealing with their aftermath, and the need for the byelaws to be enforced.

It was a pity that during her speech there couldn’t have been a live telecast from the Moor, as on my way there, I saw a fire engine dealing with a fire, and then on my way back, I saw several barbeques, including the one pictured above.

But somehow I don’t think that even a live telecast would have convinced our councillors that barbequing in a public park is anti social behaviour.
