CTFC - The positioning of the new goals is causing concern. suggestions of the location were discussed, but concerns were raised about the goal posts being left out, which could cause an H&S issue. It was suggested that the Clerk contact them and advise that they should purchase the correct, more manageable posts, being the correct size for storage, which was agreed at the beginning. The storage can then be looked at again.
