Might be worth raising awareness on this?

the comments section is already a fun place to be 
I was so tempted to comment on this one haha but I am not logged into the BBC so could not be bothered haha
Someone further down did point out the rules a bit better haha
The one about kids getting changed in a park is a good one - some people - there is just no hope for us ( as in humanity not just drone operators haha )
Seems to be standard practice these days for no TOAL to be included in council park PSPOs. Some councils don’t bother at all.
I usually comment on those with
‘That thinking says a lot more about you than it does about the average drone flyer’

Hopefully we’ll be able to avoid every ‘local council’ becoming their own independent Airspace Regulator? The Gov has delegated the CAA to regulate and manage UK airspace. Whilst, at times, some may be disappointed in some of their decisions it’s likely we can mostly agree that the CAA is objective, fair and decide things mainly around safety and not on the likes and dislikes of some local councillors 
There is already a procedure for them to apply to the CAA for an airspace restriction if they can convince the CAA one is needed/justified

PSPO is their get around, all depends on how they interpret public spaces in their intention.
Drones are set to be banned from taking off and landing in all parks and public spaces across Brighton and Hove under new powers being considered by the city council.
These weere origianlly designed to stop ‘anti-social behaviour’, for example drinking.
Enough people need to object, but they will be outnumbered by Karen, Ken and their keyboard warrior (Facebook) ‘friends’ I’m affriad.
GADC still lobbies with the powers that govern on your behalf, but sometimes it is just pissing in the wind.
