DOZENS of newly planted beech trees have been vandalised at Cwmbran Boating Lake. The trees were planted last month to form a hedge between the boating lake and the railway line, after larger trees had to be felled for safety reasons. Members of the public discovered the damage between 5.30pm and 7pm on Wednesday, May 12. They also reported seeing two youths in the area on scooters. Torfaen Council is appealing for anyone with information to report it to the council or Gwent Police.
