A village in Cornwall has become overrun with tourists' vehicles after holiday companies advertised it as 'all parking free of charge'.
Locals in Flushing say they can't park anywhere because holidaymakers are using it as a car park.
They say tourists are being directed there and travel to nearby resorts where parking can be expensive.
One holiday site wrote: 'Unlike Mevagissey, Fowey, Padstow, St Ives and similar towns, parking is usually available, and all parking in Flushing is free of charge.'
The firms have been accused of directing holidaymakers to the Cornwall village - claiming it's free to park and 'much quieter' during peak times.
It's also been suggested tourists had been told by holiday home owners that if they parked on double yellow lines and got a ticket then the rental would pay the fine.
