Jeer at the local taking the stand (7)
I believe the answer is:
barrack
'jeer' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'the local taking the stand' is the wordplay.
'the local' becomes 'bar' (local can mean someone's local pub).
'taking' says to put letters next to each other.
'the stand' becomes 'rack' ('rack' can be a synonym of 'stand').
'bar'+'rack'='BARRACK'
'at' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for barrack that I've seen before include "Jeer loudly at (someone)" , "May heckle" , "Encourage" , "Boo!" , "Cheer ironically" .)
