How are they planning on enforcing this?
There was a post on this forum about DJI releasing an app to track the pilot and drone and until that comes out, are the council planning on investing thousands into the DJI AeroScope for their drone security solution?
I’ve noticed the council near me has banned drones and model aircrafts in all the parks, even out in the sticks parks and fields no one goes to, sure they have their reasons.
Those of us in London know the struggle of the Heathrow NFZ, the London NFZ, Royal Parks and National Trust parks making it near on impossible to fly.
Fortunately, in Richmond, they have dedicated a small section of the park to allow drones and model aircraft to fly. This is a positive move since so many people are buying drones, it’s better to have people flying them in a controlled space rather than in one of the many banned locations. Last time I was there, the sign for the flying field had the text/sign taken down and dog walkers could clearly see people flying drones and getting quite angry walking through the flying field (and not the designated paths) that their dogs were barking at the drones… Led me to believe they may ditch the flying field due to complaints.
If the council want to ban them, I would advise they offer safe location in one of their parks to fly them.
The other area needs changing is the name of drones. Drones or UAV’s are different than model aircrafts and operate differently. The chap next to me with his model aircraft needs a strip to take off/land and doing fancy air acrobatics near trees. The drone flyers are taking off/landing vertically (VTOL to make us sound more professional 
) and can hover with what I would argue, much greater control and safer than a model aircraft. The FPV folks will be in a tough spot as they fit in between the two categories.
The TL;DR of this being, argue with councils that drones are not model aircrafts (safer + more control) either allow them or provide a safe space to use them.
