Suffolk police have been made of a group who are planning to meet at Bures Recreation Ground, near Sudbury, on Thursday following the end of the term.

Officers have issued a statement ahead of the possible gathering, stating they have the power to disperse the group if required. 

"Whilst we all want young people to enjoy the area - this is a reminder that this area has been subject to high levels of anti-social behaviour over recent years including underage drinking and drug use," it said.
