Police have decided to take no further action about a Weston Mercury billboard poster saying 'Gypsies could be on your doorstep'.

The Avon and Somerset force say they received several complaints after the boards were placed outside newsagents in March - but have made the call after receiving advice from the Crown Prosecution Service.

The paper withdrew the posters and printed an apology - and says while they 'regret the fact that the police had to become involved' they're 'glad the matter has been resolved'.
