Millbridge Park.
The Spenborough Guardian reported last month how council gardeners had brought in a tractor to clear shrubs and rose bushes at Millbridge Park.
The wet conditions saw the park churned up with huge tyre tracks gouged in the mud.
Former council gardeners Pete Fawcett and Andrew Gautry were furious at the damage and the loss of habitat and greenery, describing it as “environmental vandalism.”
In a statement the council’s Cabinet Member for the Environment, Clr Naheed Mather, said the work had been carried out “in consultation with ward councillors.”
However, Liversedge & Gomersal councillor David Hall said he was “shocked” when he saw what had happened.
