Killjoy council workers saw snowmen's heads off after children take hours to build them... because they 'damage the grass'

It's definitely a case of 'off with their heads' for killjoy council workers who have destroyed dozens of snowmen and igloos built by children in a park.

The hard-hearted workmen smashed down the snowmen and sawed off their heads in Homefield Recreation Ground in Chiswick, west London.

When horrified passers-by complained, the men claimed they were protecting the grass.

The weekend snowfall had attracted scores of children and their parents to the park to have fun.

But dog walker Patricia Queen told how she saw thoughtless workmen beheading the carefully created snowmen on Monday morning.

She said: 'There were at least 50 snowmen plus igloos that children and loving parents had struggled to build.

'The ice sculptures were rapidly melting in the bright sunlight but these men were being employed to kick them down. One had a saw and was sawing their heads off.

'I was shocked and asked them what they were doing. "It is to protect the grass" was the feeble reply.



'What is going on? What are we paying our taxes for?'

Fellow resident Gabriella Newbold said: 'I saw this happening and was equally shocked. I'm very annoyed. One of the snowmen was made by my kids at 8am.

'What makes my blood boil is that I called the council with regards to the filthy streets opposite Homefield Rec just last Tuesday and am still waiting.'

A Hounslow Council spokesman apologised to residents and suggested that the two workers - employed by its contractor to keep the park clean - might be getting a frosty reception the next time they see their bosses.

He stressed that it was not council policy to destroy snowmen, adding: 'Regretfully - and without valid reasons - two workers employed by our contractor decided themselves that this bizarre course of action was necessary.

'It is certainly not in their job description to go knocking snowmen down. We like snowmen.

'They should be sticking to their task of keeping the park clean, not destroying snowmen.

'We're very sorry and have instructed all site staff to use their common sense and let people enjoy the snow in our parks.

'Our contractor has confirmed that the two men were doing this and they are dealing with the matter now.'

A shame I suppose but also an opportunity for the birth of a cool legend.

 

Beware base men, All Hallow's Eve when the moon is shining bright.

In the Burrough of Hounslow at shadow's edge there dwells a chilling sight.

Headless men of Ice with a thirst for blood shall prowel that fatefull town.

Searching for the heartless ones who's saws did cut them down.

Any strangers met shall meet their doom sucked into the frosted earth.

Forgiveness only for the child whose hands did give them birth.

BuhwahahahaHaHaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Yes. This is typical a social control in the UK. I'm pretty sure they don't leap around in the height of summer, ensuring that grass doesn't die.

Wow..The grass now has more rights than snowmen....this is a tad bit overboard...

I wonder how all that powder covering the ground is affecting the grass...DUH!
