Lout misbehaving near North Bedfordshire town (5)
I believe the answer is:
luton
'bedfordshire town' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'lout misbehaving near north' is the wordplay.
'misbehaving' indicates an anagram.
'near' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'north' becomes 'n' ('N' can be a synonym of 'north').
'lout' anagrammed gives 'luto'.
'luto'+'n'='LUTON'
(Other definitions for luton that I've seen before include "Bedfordshire flight centre?" , "English town and airport" , "Beds town" , "Town and airport northwest of London" , "Bedfordshire town and airport" .)
