Police slam ‘mindless damage’ after trees felled in park

Three trees have been cut and felled at Witham Way Country Park, in Boston[1]. Vandals have repeatedly targeted trees at the beauty spot and three further were discovered damaged on April 12. Sergeant Kate Odlin, of Lincolnshire Police, said: “This is wholly unacceptable and mindless damage to a beautiful area that local people should be able to enjoy.

“Not only are the culprits causing irreversible damage, they are also causing a potential danger to themselves and others. We are working closely with Boston Borough Council, we have increased our patrols of the area and we would welcome any information about who is responsible.” Poll – What’s the worst road for potholes?[2]
