Villagers are fearing traffic chaos in Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire over rumours Jeremy Clarkson (pictured) wants to buy an historic pub which could attract huge crowds.
Across the Cotswolds, whose honey-hued limestone cottages attract 35 million tourists a year, communities have been blighted by sewage spills, many lasting for months.
The UK’s biggest water company has been accused of acting like a "rogue trader" as the number of sewage spills lasting longer than 24 hours more than doubled in 2023.
Serious parking and congestion issues have led to enraged locals calling for the ban as they say Bourton-on-the-water 'cannot cope' with the huge influx of visitors.
