People who live in a town overrun by tourists say they have been left feeling as though they are living "in a theme park" and only exist to serve rich visitors.
Things have "got out of hand" in the seaside town of St Ives since the Covid-19 pandemic, locals say, as a worrying trend sees greedy developers land-grab and price out social housing as the Cornish destination records the second highest visitor-related spend in the UK behind London.
Tourists spend £85 million per year in St Ives, with around 540,000 day trippers and more than 220,000 staying there.
