New powers to tackle BBQs in the New Forest
People could be fined £1,000
Council bosses in the New Forest are vowing to get tough on those lighting BBQs and campfires after a rise in problems this summer.
Officials say the message is clearly not getting through so they're now considering a Public Spaces Protection Order.
That means people flouting the rules could be fined up to one-thousand pounds.
It could also apply to people feeding and petting the ponies.
