Police are preparing for a fight between two groups of youths from two Wiltshire towns that they believe has been planned for the weekend.
The fight between two groups from Chippenham and Calne supposed to be happening in Calne this weekend, November 23 and 24, is being “taken very seriously” by police.
No more details are specified but Wiltshire Police says it will be in the area to monitor and respond to incidents.

It added: “Any individuals found to be engaging in or inciting violence will be dealt with robustly.”
The force urged parents and guardians to be aware of their children’s whereabouts and talk about the dangers of fighting. It asked the public to share any information that could be of help.
A Chippenham Neighbourhood Policing Team spokesperson said: “We strongly encourage parents and guardians to be vigilant about their children’s whereabouts and activities this weekend.
“Open communication is key—please talk to your children about the potential consequences of participating in such behaviour and encourage them to make responsible decisions.
“Our aim is to prevent any harm and maintain a safe environment for everyone in our towns.
“Should you have any information that could assist in addressing this issue, we urge you to contact the police on 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers.
“The neighbourhood Policing team can be contacted directly by emailing – chippenhamareanpt@wiltshire.police.uk”
