NEW tables and chairs due for the town centre this week have been delayed, Barnsley Council has said.

They were due to be delivered in time for the Bank Holiday, but the suppliers said that they cannot be dispatched for at least another week.

Coun Roy Miller said: "This is very disappointing news but it is something that is sadly out of our control. We look forward to receiving the delivery of the chairs within the next couple of weeks and they will be a welcome addition to the exciting changes taking place in the town centre."
