VOLUNTEERS have slammed idiots who snapped trees, planted to improve a town.

Wickford Wombles work to improve the community and planted trees in the town. But yobs are snapping and vandalising the trees.

A group spokesman said: “More mindless damage to our beautiful Womble trees planted earlier this year. So sad, so many people have participated in keeping them watered this summer. What possible joy would anyone get out of snapping one.”
