The tree at Little Bowden Recreation Ground was one of a number planted at local parks earlier this year.

But Harborough District Council has revealed it has been vandalised.

A spokesman said: “Unfortunately, one of the recently-planted Jubilee trees was vandalised at the weekend.

“We are urging anyone with information about who might be responsible for this damage to contact the council or police.”
