This is me in my prime (born in Hull Road Park, York). Now I'm just a miserable, moaning mallard and eco warrior.

[York Parks @HullRoadPark]

@YNET4 @yorkpress No #consultation by Council. Residents stop initial work. Speak at council meeting. Petition submitted. All ignored...

[Steve Duckling @SteveDuckling]

@HullRoadPark as #CityofYorkCouncil do opposite of locals' petition & remove hedge in 24hrs... Get petition to not repair road? #crazyworld

[York Parks @HullRoadPark]

@WoodlandTrust 3.27pm 22/03/2013 #HullRoadPark 200+metres of hedgerow ripped out by #CityofYorkCouncil. Pls RT an FF

[Irena Zientek @Harbutowice]

York Council have nearly completed hedgerow destruction at Hull Road Park. Thanks for that. Watch @HullRoadPark for photos to follow...

[Steve Duckling @SteveDuckling]

What's next on #CityofYork's list for uprooting? West Bank's hedges? Other (supposedly) "inappropriate planting" throughout the city?

[York Parks @HullRoadPark]

#CityofYorkCouncil shown no respect for local wildlife. Did not see anyone check hedgerow for signs of birds nesting.

[York Parks @HullRoadPark]

TEA-BREAK! Last 12m of #HullRoadPark hedgerow gets brief reprieve at 3.05pm. but for how long...

[York Parks @HullRoadPark]

Not long... chainsaws out for last stretch of #HullRoadPark hedgerow removal by #CityofYorkCouncil...

[York Parks @HullRoadPark]

Reason for hedgerow removal at #HullRoadPark? To open up views. Here's the first 'nice' view from park with no hedge.

[York Parks @HullRoadPark]

#CityofYorkCouncil create new 'play area' for kids for Saturday morning in #HullRoadPark. 40m of ripped up hedgerow.

[York Parks @HullRoadPark]

Great to see how much care has been taken to protect the flowering bulbs that (used to) border the hedgerow..!

[Steve Duckling @SteveDuckling]

@WoodlandTrust @YorksWildlife @YorkGreens @duckoftheday Help save my home #CityofYorkCouncil destroying hedges. Pls RT & FF @HullRoadPark

[York Parks @HullRoadPark]

And to open up views into the park..! Doh..! Someone didn't think that pathetic excuse through at #CityofYorkCouncil?

[Steve Duckling @SteveDuckling]

@HullRoadPark Ah, hedge removal opening up the spectacular views of the bus stop.

[York Parks @HullRoadPark]

Oh, and by the way. Thanks #CityofYorkCouncil for saving the hedgerow outside our house to last... Nice touch..! So much for public opinion!

[York Parks @HullRoadPark]

3.27pm 22/03/2013 #HullRoadPark hedgerow gone... This has been #Springwatch live #CityofYorkCouncil style..!
