PEOPLE living near Jocelyn Park in Chard have been urged to report any anti-social behaviour to the police.

Last week, Chard town and district councillor Dave Bulmer said measures to tackle louts were not working after he cleared up more cans and broken bottles from the park on Sunday morning.

This week, Sgt Andy Kingston, of Chard Police, said: "Between Friday morning and Sunday night, there were no reported incidents of anti-social behaviour in the Jocelyn Park area.

"However, I would encourage members of the public who witness such behaviour, including under age drinking, to report it to the police and we will respond."

Cathie Morrison, of Chard Community Safety Group added: "If people are experiencing anti-social behaviour then it should be reported to the police so it can be recorded and monitored.

"The police can then come to the community safety group and we can take a multi-agency look at the issue."

In response to concerns about cleaning of the town on a Sunday, town clerk John Furze said: "The whole of the town is not cleaned on a Sunday, but parts of the town such as the town centre are cleaned."
