Following the Prime Minister's ban on disposable BBQs, we have responded with advice for councils and fire and rescue authorities. Improper use presents a significant hazard, particularly during hot weather. Read our full statement: www.local.gov.uk/about/news/d...

Sparks start fires - BBQ's campfires and cigarettes are a fire risk.

The A555 has been closed and will remain closed overnight, Tuesday. We believe that damage caused by Storm Claudia, including tree fall, has resulted in a water channel being diverted, causing the road to flood. We're looking into this, and we will provide a further update tomorrow, Wednesday.
