'We don't want this in our community! Disgusting behaviour!'

The message, posted this afternoon, was accompanied by the hashtag '˜sortyourlifeout!'.

Police said community service workers had cut the trees back on the open space near the Manor Community Childcare Centre and the branches were due to be collected, only for the vandals to get there first.

They said a number of youths were involved and asked anyone with information to call police on 101, quoting the incident number 801 of October 29.
