Several trees on the Stray have been damaged, believed to be by vandals.
Sgt Andy Graham from North Yorkshire Police tweeted that he saw the trees, which are on the York Place section of the Stray, when walking to work this morning.
Morning rant on my walk into work today. Damaged trees on the Stray. No not damaged destroyed and killed. Harrogate isn’t perfect I know that better than most but it’s a paradise compared to some places I’ve been. But if you don’t like it there’s nothing keeping you here. End ! pic.twitter.com/BO5ZGK6nFs

Responding to Sgt Graham’s tweet, the Stray Defence Association tweeted:
“What motivates these mindless vandals? Why would anyone destroy their local environment?”

It is not the first time this year trees have been damaged on the Stray.
In June, two young trees were pulled up following reports of large gatherings.
