Great idea for something to do in the #heatwave this week 👇🐝

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

A quick and easy way to #HelpTheBees during warm weather - make a bee bowl! These are great because bees need to drink, but they can drown in deep or fast-flowing water sources. Here's how to set up one up: https://t.co/rGlSu0BWSS 🐝

Stay safe this summer!☀️

Planning a BBQ? Make sure it is at home as they’re illegal in parks or on the moors, you can be fined if caught.

Remember to keep your uncooked meats cool, make sure they are fully cooked & remember Covid, so keep your distance and your hands cleansed✅

Brilliant stuff from these fantastic volunteers 👏 👏

[Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service @manchesterfire]

🚒 A huge number of firefighters and resources are needed to control a wildfire. They can also cause a lot of damage and disruption.

Please #BeMoorAware and act responsibly when enjoying the moorlands. Never have a barbecue or start a fire.

🚨⚠️‼️ 🚨

Really important advice here 👇

Steel slides can reach 70 degress + in this sun - please be careful out there and seek shade.

We want you and your families to stay safe, so please avoid letting children play on equipment that has been in the sun.

🚨🚨🚨

[Oldham Council @OldhamCouncil]

Please be careful when visiting your local playground as some equipment may be extremely hot if it's in direct sunlight and, as part of public health advice, do your best to keep out of the sun between 11am until 3pm. Take care.
