Hazards in the garden

• FUMES from charcoal barbecues are carcinogenic.

I suffer from them on every warm day from neighbours’ gardens. No one complains so nothing is done about them. Gas barbecues are a better option. Also spores from compost heaps are a health hazard. I suggest compulsory training and the use of only tightly closed containers so that rodents and nasty biting flies can’t get to them.
