RESIDENTS of Jocelyn Park in Chard have taken action to stop the anti-social behaviour and vandalism they say is blighting their lives.

One resident contacted the News last week to say her neighbourhood has been on the receiving end of a host of petty crimes in recent months.

Broken fences, smashed wing mirrors and offensive graffiti are just some of the problems the people of Jocelyn Park have had to put up with.

And now a petition has been taken to the police, listing all the residents who claim to have suffered similarly.
