The scorching heat in Britain has left people swarming beaches and seas as they try to stay cool. But as authorities announced the continued heatwave over the next few weeks, people are also resorting to swimming in swan ponds despite the 'no swimming zone', which caught the ire of locals and conservationists.
From swan ponds to bird sanctuaries, swimmers are ignoring restrictions and disturbing wildlife. Locals say selfish behaviour is turning cherished beauty spots into party zones, leaving habitats damaged and communities frustrated.
