Neighbours in one area of Merseyside claim they feel "like prisoners in their own homes".
The sleepy town of Formby on the outskirts of Liverpool has always been known for its lush woodland and picturesque beaches. Visitors from across the country make their way to the sandy dunes of Formby looking to bask in the sun and escape life for a while.
While always popular with tourists, locals claim the number of people coming to Formby beach has increased since the pandemic. With a lack of facilities on and surrounding the beach coupled with the swell of visitors neighbours say it is causing "absolute chaos".
