A MAN who had been missing for more than 48-hours has been found safe in Bridgwater.

Philip Panting, 42, had last been seen leaving his Eldene home at 9am on Sunday.

His family and the police were beocming increasingly concerned for his welfare as Mr Panting has learning difficulties and communication problems, which mean he would not ask for help if needed.

He is currently being cared for by police in Bridgwater.
