A councillor has called for “urgent action” over a ban on beach barbecues.
Independent councillor David Irving said failure to act could risk a “serious environmental disaster” in Sefton as he called for a national ban on disposable barbecues.
In a motion submitted for a full meeting of Sefton Counci l due to be held next week, Cllr Irving said: “Disposable barbecues have been cited as the main cause of many fires by Senior Fire Officers in England this year, in which over 500 areas of outstanding natural beauty have been severely damaged by fire.
