Eastbourne Borough Council has urged people to keep all barbecues away from wooden sea defences after one was damaged from the flames of a nearby barbecue.

This is because the sea groynes are highly flammable and can set alight easily.

A spokesman for Eastbourne Borough Council said: “Having a barbecue can be a great addition to a day out at the beach, but there are some safety tips you need to follow to ensure everyone has a good time.

“In Eastbourne, barbecues are only permitted on certain beaches and must be kept away from sea defences.

“Unfortunately, someone recently had a barbecue next to a sea groyne which resulted in damage.

“Make your day out a trip to remember for the right reasons. If you see an out-of-control fire – call 999 immediately.”
