NEARLY £50,000 is being made in parking tickets in a tourist hotspot near Cirencester dubbed ‘the most beautiful village in the world’

The prestigious award from Forbes magazine brought the British village of Bibury global fame, but also a powerful crisis. On summer weekends, a 600-person settlement is flooded by a wave of 20,000 visitors, paralyzing traffic and disturbing the peace of the inhabitants. County authorities are saying “enough” and taking radical steps.
