AN ANGRY and disappointed man has complained about teenagers in Cirencester leaving rubbish lying all over the Abbey Grounds - and he wants it to stop.

The elderly man, who asked not to be named as he believes the youths might track him down, said he saw youngsters illegally drinking alcohol and sitting in the popular town park yesterday evening (Thursday).

For some school students, yesterday was the last day of school for them and they could have been celebrating.

However, the man said this was "no excuse". He added that when he came to the Abbey Grounds this morning, all the rubbish was still there from the night before (see picture).

"This is not the first time this has happened," he said. "It happens every weekend. I have complained to the council before but something needs to be done.

"It's a disgrace. They made no effort to clear it up. I think it's appalling. Poor old Cirencester."
