During the summer more people head outdoors to enjoy Arun's stunning coastline and green spaces, Arun District Council is reminding residents and visitors that fires and barbecues are not permitted on Arun District Council-owned beaches and public open spaces under council byelaws.

However, BBQ areas are provided on green spaces adjacent to the beaches in Littlehampton and Felpham, where the appropriate large metal BBQs with fire bins attached are in place for public use.

Recent wildfires across Sussex have highlighted how quickly fires can spread, putting lives, wildlife and property at risk.

We want everyone to enjoy Arun’s beautiful outdoor spaces while helping to keep them safe, clean and welcoming for everyone throughout the summer.
