With soaring temperatures set to continue we must appeal to all our visitors to the #Sefton coast to remember that BBQs and fires are not allowed.
The dune system is bone dry because of the heatwave and fire can race out of control alarmingly quickly with devastating consequences.
Portable BBQs are great at home, but if you are planning a visit to the coast this weekend by all means bring a picnic, but please leave the BBQ at home.
Disposable BBQs superheat the sand they rest on making it easy for children to burn their feet, the grill mesh is razor sharp, frequently causing serious cuts and the slightest spark can trigger a fire in the dunes.
The damage this causes to rare species of plants and animals and the very fabric of the fragile dune system itself can be far reaching.
No one wants damage like that featured from the past in the pictures below, so please respect this wonderful landscape and leave the BBQ at home.
