The goalposts are to be moved so they stand in a different direction.
Dave Meigh, the city council's head of parks and open spaces, said: ‘The new fencing was installed, at a cost of about £6,000, ahead of the £37,000 investment in new equipment, which is due in the next few weeks.
‘We recognise that failure to relocate the goalposts is a real own goal and we have asked the contractors to resolve the issue as a matter of urgency. We can only apologise for the error.’
Parish council clerk Malcolm Sunderland said the new fence would create space for the play area to be extended.
He said: ‘The goalposts are to be moved the other way round from their current position so we can have a better play area.
‘It is not a problem, but we are just waiting for this to be done. We are meeting the contractors this week about the installation of the new equipment, which will include things like wire and rope facilities.
‘This equipment is what local people have chosen and it should be a welcome addition for the children who play there.’
Didnt see it in The Mail, but thanks for bringing it to my attention Henry Lots of belly laughs reading the comments eg ''Welcome to Britain 2011'' ''No wonder why the council tax increases every year!''
Rolling out endless cliche's over a minor timing issue (ie putting the fence up before moving the goalposts)
