POLICE are investigating after vandals targeted fencing surrounding a new school in Bridgwater.

Work has only just been completed on the new £18m Polden Bower School, in Bower Lane, which is providing much-needed places for young people with special educational needs.

Now, vandals have targeted the site - and police are keen to trace those responsible.
