VISITOR INFORMATION - EXTREME RISK OF FIRE
Despite the recent rain and the return to more normal summer temperatures, the risk of fire on the Commons remains, and we are keeping our our own "Extreme Risk of Fire" warning. in place.
We would therefore remind all our visitors to take every precaution to keep themselves and the Commons safe from any risk of fire.
BBQs and FIRES – NOT PERMITTED ON THE COMMONS. We operate a zero-tolerance policy in relation to BBQs or any other naked flame and they will be extinguished by our staff immediately we become aware of them. The Commons are tinder dry and a small spark could very quickly become a serous blaze.
These Commons are incredibly important, not only for your exercise and recreation, but also for our wildlife and rare heathland habitat. Your help in being vigilant during this hot weather is critical in helping us to protect them.
