<BR>
This is very dispiriting. The burns are not small and not occasional , Jesus Green is covered with them. I and many others do not agree that barbecues are what the spaces are for. They are essentially polluting to other users , in a visit to the green last week playing tennis there were I counted 25 groups of picnickers. Only five had barbecues and they were all burning the grass.<BR>
<BR>
Also the rule is no fires. If you want to introduce them you have to campaign to have the law changed.<BR>
<BR>
And how can you compare the large space at Wandlebury with the hugely more dense Jesus Green situation?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Yours<BR>

Certainly more debate needs to happen and ideas pooled looking at city-wide solutions.<BR>

I had thought that the management groups of Midsummer Common / Jesus Green had decided that their common land in central Cambridge isn't suitable for bbq's, and other areas such as Lammas land should be used. <BR>
<BR>
How long is this going to go on being re-hashed? Can't we just say: no barbecues on Jesus Green? <BR>
