Witnesses in Boston reported 'complete chaos' - including people urinating in the street.
By David McKenna & Lizzie MushamLincolnshire Police issued a 48-hour dispersal order in Boston on Tuesday night after what one witness described as "complete chaos".In a statement, the authority said the safety of staff and traders was a priority, and it was "not deemed safe to erect market stalls".She told BBC Radio Lincolnshire she received an email from the council to say "they weren't putting the stalls up".
The disruption has also led some businesses to take the decision to close for the day, or reduce their opening hours. Lizzie Burvill, who owns and runs an escape rooms attraction in Pescod Square, said she had witnessed disorder on Tuesday night. "It was a nightmare to walk through. There was a man having a wee against a shop window and kids throwing stuff at each other, and taking up the whole path."While no-one was actively hurting anybody, it was just very loud, very rowdy and very intimidating."Follow BBC East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire on
