Does Flamborough Have Too Many Tourists?

There are concerns that the village of Flamborough is being overwhelmed by tourists.

East Riding Councillors have this week refused permission for the expansion of a caravan site in the village in part because of concerns that Flamborough doesn't have the capacity to cope with any further increase in visitor numbers.

Bridlington North Councillor Jayne Phoenix says the village has reached a tipping point.

Fellow Bridlington North Councillor - Thomas Robson - thinks Flamborough is being overrun.

East Rising Councillor, Jonathan Owen, thinks the authority might need to look again at it's policies around tourism and caravan site capacity.
