‘It’s such a localised problem. As the regional member I attended parish council meetings and this is something that turned up and was gone over a number of times.

‘Various indications have been installed advising users of drones what they can and can’t do.’

Mr Botterill, 62, said the issue had actually become even more popular given that the pandemic, alleging that ‘a growing number of’ travelers are bringing drones in order to take pictures.

Emphasising that visitors should remember that the charming town is ‘not a theme park’, he included: ‘It’s got to the stage where it’s no longer just the odd thing.

‘People are having them at rather low levels when there are great deals of individuals around, so it’s not just a privacy issue
