Smell those sizzling sausages

Islington Council prohibited barbecuing in parks, but has now revoked its ban. The councillors once again trust their residents to use charcoal fires responsibly and clean up when they are done. People who opposed this ban are glad that cooking outdoors in parks is possible again. All the ‘no barbecue’ signs have been removed. Now that summer is coming, the scrapping of the ban is good news, because many residents do not have a garden and they can now enjoy a tasty grilled steak in the park.

Personal comment:

I can imagine that many people in Islington are glad the ban is revoked. If you do not have a garden yourself, you would never been able to enjoy a typical summer activity such as barbecuing. I can understand that many are glad the ban is over. On the other hand, it might cause some inconveniences. Imaging a hot summer’s day, an overcrowded park, children playing, dogs with wagging tails and slobber dripping out of its mouth and barbecues and open fire everywhere. Accidents are bound to happen. Reading this news article, I am glad I have a garden and that I can enjoy a sizzling sausage in peace and quiet.
