CODFORD councillors may set up a chill-out zone in the village to distract would-be vandals.

Residents are desperate to halt a wave of destruction in Codford and the chill-out plan is just one idea that has been floated to get wayward youngsters back on the straight and narrow.

Other ideas include a bike track or basketball hoops. Possible sites have been earmarked.

Last week hooded vandals terrorised residents with ball-bearing guns.

Parish council chairman Romy Wyeth said: "It was felt that if the right land was available, using volunteer labour, it would be possible to provide a special area.

"The council is also looking at the possibility of a skate park. It would cost at least £25,000."
