Anger as workmen rip out 'lovely' Levenshulme alley garden

  In a joint statement, Labour administration councillors Sheikh and Hussain said they were “deeply saddened and appalled” after visiting the site and speaking to residents.

  They said neither of them had been informed of, or authorised, any clearance work.

  The councillors said they had asked senior officers to establish who authorised the work, why residents were not consulted, and why planting and community facilities were removed.

  What are the chances they find out who’s responsible?

  “Anger as [whatever]” is the new slammed. It’s a stupid fucking sentence fragment and of course it doesn’t really even mean more than 5 Twitter users are angry

    It makes sense here for the people that have poured time and money into improving their community over the years, only for it to be mindlessly vandalised by bureaucrats.

      I’m taking issue with the stupid way of writing. Not the point it’s making

    I feel you should take more issue with “workmen rip out ‘lovely’ alley” - as if working class people just up and decided to rip plants out when it was a bureaucrat somewhere signing off on this getting tore down - who is now not even willing to come out and admit sighning it…

    “Anger and inaction” as people complain and do nothing.

    Next they’ll be “slammed” or “facing calls”.
