I hate to say it, but i am more confused!! All i did was add a new
acl then tried to restart squid. It was then I got this error, I
removed it and then re-saved so am unsure as to what else has
changed. Are there any more pointers you can give me as to what I
need to add to the .conf file?
just replace "to_localhost" (which you probably changed inadvertently)
to "localhost". Then squid will be able to parse the config file.

Ack! This is not correct....
acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8
This acl is there to define requests that are DESTINED FOR localhost*.
What you need to do is add another acl...
acl localhost src 127.0.0.0/8
...which matches requests SOURCED FROM localhost.
The way it is now...
http_access allow manager localhost
...allows ANYONE to access the manager interface of the local Squid.
This is (very likely) not what you want.

* It is usually used in conjunction with "http_access deny to_localhost"
to prevent requests through Squid to services on the local machine which
(naively?) assume that localhost is not network accessible.
