A Chard trader has called for more to be done to stop windows getting smashed after his shop was part of a vandalism spree in the town.

One of the main display windows at Barron's of Holyrood Street Chard was damaged on new year's eve night.

Windows at the former premises of Chard Fishmongers in Pig Lane were also damaged over the festive period, and bay windows have been boarded over following damage in the past.

Premises in Fore Street and High Street are also understood to have had windows damaged on New Year's Eve.
