A council has slammed yobs who vandalised a memorial dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II.
North West Leicestershire District Council said people had destroyed trees planted to commemorate the late monarch’s 70-year-reign in May.
Andrew Woodman, the authority’s community services spokesman, said the damage was “an abhorrent act of vandalism”.
Council representatives have reported the vandalism to the police, and said they have beefed up security in the vicinity.
