Lincolnshire County Council has admitted signage saying repairs to a Sleaford path should have been completed months ago is out of date.
The signage says the work to repair and store the pavement around a tree near the Handley Monument was supposed to have happened between February 27 and March 31 this year.
However, two weeks into May and nothing appears to have happened.
It has prompted social media comments that the barriers are “unsightly” and an “eyesore”.
On the Let’s Talk Sleaford Facebook group, Trevor Brown said: “It says essential repairs but it’s been like it for months.
“Looks really unsightly in my opinion.”
A spokesman for Lincolnshire County Council said works were still planned to take place in the area and admitted the dates were incorrect.
They said the barriers were to protect residents from tripping on blocks that had risen up across the pavements.

“It is a trip hazard and needs sorting,” they said.
“We are looking to try and incorporate it into some other works and aim to source suitable materials.”
The council could not provide an estimated time of completion, however, said: “Until it is, we’d like to thank everyone for their patience whilst we carry out the works.”
LCC will be update the signage to reflect the current situation

In the space of just a few months, Scunthorpe United have gone from potentially having nowhere to call home to now looking ahead to many more memories at Glanford Park, after a community interest company secured the Iron’s home for years to come.
Glanford Park has been bought by a not-for-profit company called The New Show Ground CIC, which has secured a deal that is anticipated to create around 100 jobs from developments around the ground, as well as 150 homes for older residents and people with complex needs.
North East Lincolnshire has become the first upper-tier council to approve a devolution deal for Greater Lincolnshire, despite multiple concerns raised by opposition members.
Councillors voted on the deal, which would see a mayor elected for a new authority covering Lincolnshire, North and North East Lincolnshire authorities. This new setup will control funding for housing, job creation, and public transport, including buses.
