Quiet evening for police during Burnham-On-Sea Carnival

Police dealt with only a handful of minor scuffles during Burnham-On-Sea's Carnival on Monday night (November 9th).

Inspector Roger Tolley, pictured here in the High Street during the parade, said he was very happy with how the event had gone.

"It was a quiet evening with only a handful of minor public order incidents," he told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

PCSO Gavin Jennings of Burnham Police added: "It was a very quiet night, which made for an enjoyable evening for everyone."

"There were a couple of drunk scuffles between friends but no serious injuries and spectators were generally good natured."

Police were out in force and had a high-profile presence in the town centre to ensure the event went off successfully.
