Hooligans have tipped over new planters installed in Clevedon town centre.

Action group Clevedon Pride had installed planters in Queens Square. But on Sunday hooligans tipped over two of the planters, recently filled with winter flowers.

It is understood the damage may have been done by a gang of rowdy youths on their way home for a night out.

The wreckage was discovered by traders arriving at work on Monday morning and the planters have now been reinstated and refilled with flowers.

Clevedon Pride launched 18 months ago to revive and regenerate Clevedon Town Centre.

Clevedon Pride chairman, Howard Coggins, said: "We are disappointed that this has happened.

"Fortunately, one of our members was able to reinstate the planters quickly.

"Incidents such as these will not deter the group from continuing with its work to improve and regenerate Clevedon town centre."

Anyone with information about the incident should contact Clevedon police on 0845 4567000.
