Newent town councillors are due to meet senior police officers to discuss the level of vandalism and anti-social behaviour in town.
Town clerk Deirdre Rosser said the meeting would be held on September 22 at the Market Hall, when the Lakeside area, in particular, would be under discussion.
"We've had a spate to letters from people who are particularly concerned about hooliganism and vandalism there," she said.
"A picnic bench donated by Newent WI has been carved, burnt and graffitied all over."
