We the undersigned petition the council to to get together with the Police urgently to organise a way forward which will put a stop to the BBQ damage and desecration of Hove Lawns. The Council says the police should enforce the by-laws. The police say it is the Council's responsibility. Meanwhile 'Hove Lawns' along the seafront in Hove are damaged by large numbers of people having BBQs on The Lawns every summer.
This has long been a thorn in the side of the Hove community, and with little or no policing, there seems no end to this practise. Despite constant correspondence between the Council and the Police, we are no nearer gaining support from either to notify those BBQing that you can use the beach after 6pm, but you can't desecrate the lawns.
