Locals bemused as council keeps making 'basic' spelling mistakes on road signs

If you've taken a drive through the leafy commuter town of Bromsgrove in Worcestershire recently, you might have been left feeling a little baffled by the road signs - and you wouldn't be the only one. Locals in the constituency of former UK Government Home Secretary Sajid Javid have been left rather infuriated after spotting several basic errors on road signs.

The latest error has been spotted at one of the town centre's busiest road junctions, where the Birmingham Road and the A448 Stratford Road meet. Here, a new sign points drivers in the direction of the M5 and 'Brimingham' not Birmingham, reports the Mirror.

And this isn't the only blunder people have spotted, as another incorrect sign can be seen on the A38 near The Artrix, before the roundabout with the Bromsgrove Highway. This sign is intended to direct motorists towards Oakalls housing estate, but incorrectly points them to 'Oakhalls'.
