Ey up South Yorkshire,

We know this warm weather’s grand, and it’s reyt good to see folk out and about enjoying it. While you’re making the most of it, please remember to respect and take care of our outdoor community spaces.

Over the past few days and weeks, we’ve seen an increase in incidents of deliberate fire setting, which has caused damage to facilities in local outdoor areas looked after by volunteers and community groups. These places mean a lot to local people, and there’s a lot of hard graft that goes into keeping them safe, tidy, and somewhere everyone can enjoy.

Anti-social behaviour like this doesn’t just spoil things, it has a real impact on communities and on the volunteers who put their time and effort into keeping these spaces in good nick.

So please, do your bit by respecting your local areas and look out for one another.

If you’ve got any information about deliberate fire setting or anti-social behaviour, you can report it anonymously through FireStoppers on 0800 169 5558.
