A youth football team is crying foul after being kicked off their pitch by the council.
Lawley Lightmoor Football Club's youngsters have been kicked off their pitch at Hartshill Park.
The pitch has been used by the team on Sundays and for training for the last three years – and was used for ten years before that by a team that folded and came under the Lawley and Lightmoor banner. He said:"It feels like we don't matter. We are a completely charitable organisation, we don't try and make a profit, we just want kids to play football and develop and it is like the services we provide for our community don't matter. No one consulted us, I just had an e-mail from the council to say the pitch was no longer available."
Telford & Wrekin Council has also said it intends to re-instate the goalposts at the pitch for 'recreational football'. “We are in the process of re-instating goal posts, allowing recreational football to continue safely at Oakengates and the pitch for younger age groups also remains in place.
