Very well done Sainsbury's in Wareham...but the idiots will just buy them elsewhere. Single use BBQs need to be banned outright.
Vikki Slade MP@vikkislademp.bsky.social · 2d agoA big thank you to Sainsbury's in Wareham for taking disposable BBQ's off of their shelves 🎉 In hot, dry conditions like this summer, these disposable BBQs are a major preventable ignition source. Try using a fixed or reusable BBQ in a safe, designated area, or swap to a picnic or cold meal instead
