Ballymena South Alderman Martin Clarke says he wants to know “why?” anyone would cut down trees at the King George V Park in Harryville.

According to the councillor, the vandals entered the locked park sometime on Wednesday night and felled eight or nine mature trees, which were some 15ft tall and had been planted 15 years ago as part of the refurbishment of the facilities.

The culprits then tried unsuccessfully to hurl the trees over fencing at the rear of the park.
