Hundreds of people flocked outdoors
to enjoy the weather.

In Ilkley, West Yorkshire,
toilet roll and dirty nappies
were left dumped behind bushes and trees.

Councillor Anne Hawkesworth said:
‘What we've seen has been deplorable.
 It seems people have just run riot.’

On Saturday, groups gathered on the banks
of the town's River Wharfe.

Resident Andrew Dobson, 46, said the area was left
an ‘eyesore’ with barbecues dumped
and the grass scorched.

‘There were people jumping off the bridge,
toilet paper behind bushes and trees,
and dirty nappies.’

Resident Mark Fox said: ‘This past week
there has been a perfect storm of nonsensical parking
and a disrespect to the villagers trying to carry out their normal life.
Everyone seems to have landed here
and caused complete and utter disruption.’

Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Julia Mulligan said:
‘I would say if you are going somewhere
and you see a crowd
just turn around and go somewhere else.’
