Residents confused as council makes multiple spelling mistakes on street signs

Baffled locals have spotted multiple spelling errors on road signs in their town. At least four signs are wrong across Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.

Residents are split on the issue. Some find it funny, while others say it is 'typical council incompetence'. The gaffes are Becket Road, which is also spelt with two Ts on one sign, and Queen's Way - which is spelt three different ways.

Austen Drive is spelt with both an E and and an I just a few hundred yards apart, while Ryecroft Avenue is spelt with and without an E in a separate area of town. North Somerset Council said it was "aware" of the issue on Becket Road and was "checking" the other signs.
