Brits warned barbecues could land you with a 5,000 fine - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
Briefly

With warmer weather prompting outdoor barbecues, waste management experts warn of fines up to £5,000 in case of improper use of disposable barbecues. Many beaches have public space protection orders (PSPOs) restricting barbecues due to fire risks and environmental concerns. Ignoring these orders could lead to fines of £50 or even prosecution for violations. While some parks still permit barbecues, local rules vary greatly; failure to clean up can result in additional littering fines.
Disposing of barbecues in the wrong places can result in fines up to £5,000 due to increased enforcement by councils concerned about fire risks and environmental damage.
Ignoring these rules could see you issued a £50 fixed penalty notice or prosecuted in court, where fines can reach up to £1,000.
Several councils, including in Bradford and Brighton, have implemented outright bans in response to fire risks from discarded disposable BBQs.
Leaving a barbecue behind or failing to dispose of utensils and food waste can result in littering fines of up to £2,500.
