WITNEY Town Council has denied claims that a football pitch on the Leys is set to close.
Rumours circulated on social media yesterday that the popular grounds were to be closed by the council, with many upset by the possibility.
However, town council leader Rosa Bolger has now said 'the football pitch on the Leys is not being closed'.

The council has been approached for a comment and is expected to release a statement tomorrow morning about the future of the pitch.
