Following a recent project of planting some 50 fruit trees throughout the ward it was with some disappointment that already one of the trees has been vandalised.
John said “ I used some of my ward budget to improve the environment by planting the fruit trees which will not only carry blossom in the spring but will also produce eatable fruit which will be great for “Food Foraging”, The trees will not become large and won’t require any maintenance.
I am appalled at this act of vandalism on one of the trees planted in a grass verge near Lakeside Acaster Malbis, not an area where one would expect this kind of behaviour.
The trees have been planted by workers from Brunswick Organic Nursery who have done a great job and will be shortly be returning to the trees to mulch them and I know they will be very disappointed at this damage.”
