Robert Largan MP has welcomed Tesco’s decision to remove disposable barbeques from the till points at their London Road store.

Tesco’s decision was taken after the High Peak MP wrote to them to highlight the fire risk of using disposable barbeques in the Peak District.

The Tesco store in question is attached to the petrol station on London Road.

Robert Largan MP said:

“There have recently been several fires, some thought to be caused by disposal barbeques. That’s why I’ve been working to support the Peak District National Park’s efforts to educate visitors about how to behave responsibly in the countryside. 

“I am pleased that Tesco have responded to my request and have removed disposable barbeques from their till points at their London Road store. I call on all retailers to act responsibly with the items that they stock.”
