A family has caused dismay among environmentalists after choosing to mow a makeshift football pitch into a beautiful wildflower meadow, leaving behind unsightly waste and damage.
It's understood the family had cut down part of the picturesque meadow to play football and hold a BBQ over the bank holiday weekend - despite there already being ready-made pitches available mere yards away.
Community volunteers had to remove waste that had been left behind in the damaged meadow, which is located in Swindon, Wiltshire.
