'Drones are invading our village's privacy'

VILLAGERS in a Cotswolds beauty spot overrun with tourists are making a stand against drones taking aerial footage of their homes and gardens.

And with tourists going to ever greater lengths to grab the perfect photo the peace and privacy is being shattered by invasive drones.

Parish council chairman Fred Winup said many drone users may be breaching privacy laws without realising it.
