The burden of massed tourism

Tourism may be important to Cornwall but at what cost? Most of us have other forms of employment. We are currently witnessing the worst type of tourists seen in many years. As someone who helps to clean the beach, we have witnessed so much disgusting rubbish including human excrement and then been verbally abused by holiday makers who are often drunk, for collecting after them. The numbers on holiday is incompatible with living and carrying out a normal life. We are often unable to access our own property due to inconsiderate (and illegal) parking. More control MUST be placed on tourism. It is disrupting our working lives, our quality of life and the environment about us. In many places, a tourist tax is in place. Could one be brought in here? This could be used to offset the damage being caused. Finally, a plea, second homes are killing our village. No sooner does a property go up for sale than it is snapped up often without even a viewing by someone from afar. Some houses have stood empty for years now just gaining in value. A home is to live in and is not an investment. Second homes need to be controlled.
