West Sussex County Council has apologised after wildflower verges were mowed “by mistake”.
The verges in Elizabethan Way, Maidenbower, are part of a council scheme used to attract bees and other pollinators.
A member of Maidenbower Bee Wild Project Group posted on social media that they were “devastated”.
A West Sussex County Council spokesman said: “Our contractor has been in contact with the project group to apologise for this error and we would also like to offer our apologies to all those concerned.
“We understand the contractor has put measures in place to avoid a repeat of this type of mistake in the future.”
