Image source, South Yorkshire Fire and RescueMeasures to tackle the large number of people congregating at an Ilkley riverside are being considered by Bradford Council, amid fears the town could see "at least four months of fairly intensive visitor numbers".
It comes after hundreds of visitors have came to the town in warm weather over the weekend and on Monday, some of whom appeared to be ignoring social distancing guidelines as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
Setting up car parking facilities, installing temporary toilets and larger bins and engaging with young people are all moves being considered by the council to help ease the situation.
The town's swing bridge could also be closed as a way of stopping people jumping off into the shallow water below.
Speaking at a virtual Ilkley Town Council meeting, Bradford Council ward officer Sue Gledhill said: "It cannot all be about enforcement but, having said that, there are measures we can put in place."

A project to help salmon return to their spawning grounds for the first time in 200 years has been completed.
Image source, Don Catchment Rivers TrustThe completion of the final pass on the River Don marks the end of a 20-year vision to have a fully joined-up river from the North Sea to spawning grounds in the centre of Sheffield and upstream.
The construction on Masbrough Weir, at Forge Island in Rotherham, was the last of 18 obstructions to be made passable to allow salmon to move freely up and down the river.
Image source, PA MediaAnthony Downing, Environment Agency catchment co-ordinator for the Don and Rother, said: "It is very exciting that this month we will see the completion of the fish pass at Forge Island.
"With Sheffield City Council also finishing the fish pass on Sanderson's Weir, this will open the entire migratory route from the North Sea to spawning grounds upstream of Sheffield.
"The work to open up the route has been a great partnership effort involving many organisations to enable fish passage at 18 previously unpassable weirs, and hopefully we will now see a sustainable salmon population in the River Don after an absence of around 200 years."

A woman who struggles to stand up has celebrated her 100th birthday by raising almost £18,000 for the hospice which cared for her dying son.
Image source, Joyce RichardsonJoyce Richardson, from Thirsk, who nearly lost the use of her legs after developing sepsis last year, set herself the challenge of standing up 100 times before her birthday today to raise money for Herriot Hospice Homecare.
She said: "It may not seem much to most people but, believe you me, hauling myself up out of the chair is a huge struggle every time."
Mrs Richardson, who managed 105 stand-ups, set out to raise £1,000 for the charity, but donations to her JustGiving page now total £16,873 and the charity says with money sent inside cards, the total is almost £18,000.
Her eldest son Gill, 74, was cared for by the charity before his death in October last year.
She said: "Thanks to everybody who's given to the cause, it's absolutely wonderful.
"When I started it I thought if I raised £1,000 I would do very well, but I'm absolutely amazed how generous people have been."

Read MoreA motorist was caught driving driven at 81mph above the speed limit on the M62 in West Yorkshire during the coronavirus lockdown, it's been revealed.
Image source, Getty ImagesPolice data obtained by the RAC revealed the car was clocked at 151mph on the M62 motorway.
The next fastest recorded speed was 140mph on the A14 in Suffolk.
RAC road safety spokesman Simon Williams described the speeds as "truly shocking" and warned that motorists travelling this fast have "virtually no time to react should anything unexpected happen".
He went on: "Some drivers have taken advantage of quieter roads to speed excessively, putting the lives of others at risk at the worst possible time."
Department for Transport figures show traffic was two-thirds lower than normal for the first few weeks after the lockdown was introduced on 23 March, when people were urged to stay home and avoid non-essential travel.
The man is in intensive care but has already said he would not want to live with a permanent stoma.

Image source, GoogleAn email to staff at Phillimore Primary School in Darnall said following guidance from the Department for Education, they did not need to self-isolate for 14 days and that the school would remain open.
