The council has been accused of an act of “wildlife vandalism”, by some angry residents in Reading west.
The park on Tofrek Terrace behind Wilson Primary School is a lovely quite place where locals from all ages, relax in summer while kids run around picking up some blackberries or kicking a ball.
It seems that the mowers may have moved in on Tofrek Terrace few days ago, hacking away the blackberries bushes and naturally-seeded wildflowers the height of summer.
An angry resident said on twitter , “@ReadingCouncil the park on Tofrek Terrace behind Wilson Primary School used to have some great blackberry bushes but I’ve come with my son today and its all been cut down? Any reason why?”
Another resident said “Wilson Rd Playing Field, Reading – any reason the scrub had to be cut down now and not left till the wildlife had finished using it for the summer? “
Reading Borough Council was unavaible to comment.
