A FEW weeks' ago a number of shrubs which bordered Thicketford Road were pulled up by the council.

In their place were planted a large number of flowers which I thought looked very attractive.

This week there was a gang of workmen cutting down tall trees from the same place trampling all over the newly-planted flowers.

The lopped-off branches were also falling onto the flowers. Does nobody have any foresight before carrying out this work? Why couldn't the trees have been chopped down before the flowers were planted? Just another waste of council taxpayers' money.
