Facepalm moment as street signs honouring one of Wales' most famous politicians are spelt wrong

Signs on a street named after a popular late politician have finally been erected - but his name has been spelt incorrectly. Rhodri Morgan was Wales’ First Minister between 2000 and 2009. Mr Morgan died in 2017, and a street in the Canton area of the Welsh capital was named after him.

However, new signs to mark the honour have been erected with no ‘h’ in Rhodri - spelling his name as ‘Rodri Morgan’.

A picture of one of the signs was shared on Twitter with the caption: “Disappointed to see this unfortunate error on this new street sign - especially after waiting two years to get one!” Mr Morgan’s widow Julie Morgan, herself a Member of the Senedd for Cardiff North, told Cardiff Journalism School she was touched that the street was named after her late husband, but hoped that the error would be corrected.
