This is very good news. Now we need all the local supermarkets to stop selling disposable BBQs to prevent damage to the soil on the Downs, St Andrews Park and Horfield Common. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/mar/09/waitrose-and-aldi-to-stop-selling-disposable-bbqs?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

“After November 5, we could have wept. There was rubbish everywhere, at least a dozen huge bags when collected. The whole place was trampled, grass crushed, mud churned up, trees broken. Local people have said how shocked they were to see the state of the place, and have supported our decision to close it down."
