Christmas may have come early for someone - but sadly not for us in Grove! Our Christmas tree which had been planted at the end of Vale Avenue only a short time ago has been chopped down and taken away.(see picture on right).
Every year the villagers have sung carols around our tree, which used to be in Millbrook Square but replaced when Tesco's came. The carol service is arranged by the parish council with the collection funds going to charity.
The tree will not survive in time for Christmas and why would anyone want to do such a thing? It happened at the end of last week because I heard the news when I attended the Grove Parish Council reception on Friday evening. None of us could believe it - so I had to go along to take a look.
Two young girls walking past as I took this photo said "The Christmas tree's gone - oh how depressing!" That just about sums it up! Anyone who saw anything - please report to the police.
Ooops, naughty County Council ;-)
