Residents in a sleepy seaside town say they feel "like prisoners in their own homes".
Formby, on the outskirts of Liverpool, has always been known for its lush woodland and picturesque beaches. Its dunes have long been the favourite of Mancs wanting to see the sea.
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", the Liverpool Echo reports.
