Barbecues are illegal on Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows but, with nobody to enforce this, the smoke and the smell and the scorched grass will just continue.

The local shops must sell quite a few of these cheap £1.49 disposable barbecues. Maybe the council could ban shops from selling them instead of erecting the odd notice. Update: Pragmatism has prevailed - concrete slabs have been provided for BBQs.
