Bowness-on-Windermere, once a peaceful getaway, now sees tensions between increasing tourism and residents' concerns about noise, crime, and loss of local amenities.
The significant growth in licensed premises has led to a surge in antisocial behavior and violent crimes, prompting police concern over the town’s nightlife.
Residents note the town’s shift from a tranquil destination for hillwalkers and pensioners to one favored by loud hen and stag parties.
In just a few years, reported violent crimes in Bowness rose from 268 to 334, indicating the impact of the booming night-time economy.
