New plans to control bus and coach parking in one of the Cotswold's most popular tourist destinations could see people DIE, locals say.
Officials in Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire want to tackle ongoing issues involving the huge number of vehicles bringing visitors in for the day.
Figures show in one year alone 238,000 people visited the 'Venice Of The Cotswold' by coach or large minibus.
Residents say they can't park as there are too many buses but businesses say a bus ban would hit trade and and turn the picture postcard village into a "ghost-town".

00:00We do have problems getting out from here some afternoons and some mornings when it's
00:07school run and if the buses are going to be there as well it could be a lot worse.
00:14If you've got an appointment or emergency it's going to be a bit difficult.
00:18So if the coaches come and park here to drop people off,
00:22yeah, do you think that will make matters worse?
00:24Honestly, yeah, I do.
