Trees have been snapped in a Nottinghamshire town in what a councillor has described as "mindless vandalism". The saplings were found broken between Maryland Court and Denver Court in Stapleford on the morning of Thursday, April 27.
The vandalism comes less than two weeks after a plantation of trees were snapped in Hetley Pearson Recreation Ground in nearby Beeston. Councillor Richard MacRae, who represents the north ward of Stapleford, estimated about 10 trees were destroyed this time, and said it was the fault of "mindless idiots".
He told Nottinghamshire Live: "I can't believe it happened. People are very angry about it.
