Is there anyone I can contact to report a BBQ?

Hello, my Mum has just rang to say that there is a large group of people in her alley having a BBQ right now!

Didn't mean to enable voting

yeah the police lol...

Police?

not even being sarcastic they have been given extra powers to break groups of large numbers up

Police?

There is no legislation banning barbeques.
O know Boris made his announcement last night but there is no law beyond a polite request to disperse.

Yeah call the popo they need to break it up the twats

Those powers to break up groups are not yet in place.

Call the police.

@Buster72 this makes it sound a lot like you’re planning a barbecue.

I would be having an "accident" with the garden hose.

But then, maybe I am overdosed on how feckless people are with other people's lives right now

Just to clarify, it's not a family garden BBQ, it's a large gathering of around 20 people all sitting very close together

No plans here, just reality, those a
powers are not yet in place.

I am curious why people bbq in an alleyway though.

Call the police. Idiots.

She's rang 101, but they have just said put it on the website. Really annoying when I can't even go and see her and they're congregating

Call 101.

So irresponsible. It's not a bank holiday, it's a pandemic

Police x

They just covered this on the bbc news.

You can inform the police on the non emergency number. It won’t necessarily be a high priority for them though.

I wonder if anyone will show up on the threads to call it dry snitching!

I am in the force and have been given no extra powers as yet.

Yes, police.

@Buster72 They're always gathering in the alley. They're Romanian and there's always a large group down there

BBQs are allowed Buster , in your own garden with the people who live in your house.

Tbh it's not as if the police have suddenly sprouted new coppers. They are so thin on the ground. They have no extra capacity. They will be patrolling large parks etc. They ain't coming to sort out a BBQ.
