Council called 'bonkers' for cutting down 1,000 daffodils in park over safety fears

A council has been branded 'bonkers' for cutting down daffodils in 'Daffodil Walk' claiming they are poisonous - and can give kids diarrhoea if they eat them.

Locals say St Blaise Town Council in Cornwall cut down over 1,000 daffs at the Old Roselyon Play Area - over health and safety fears.

The council says the flowers can be 'poisonous' - with experts saying they can give anyone who eats them the runs. The council says it will not plant new daffodil bulbs for the foreseeable future for the same reason - they can be toxic.
