Retailers all across the country are being urged to ban the sale of disposable barbecues ahead of a new heatwave in England.
It comes after forecasters predicted that temperatures could rise to over 30C in parts of southern England as high pressure brings hot, dry weather following months of low rainfall which has left the country facing potential drought. Areas such as the countryside, urban parks, and gardens have become extremely dry, running the risk of destructive wildfires.
A hosepipe ban has already been announced by two water companies with others expected to soon follow.
