DRIVERS who spotted this sign could be a little confused.

It was spotted in St Thomas’s Road, Folly Hall, warning lorry drivers to avoid Newsham Road.

But they needn’t consult their mapbooks for the oddly-named street – it should, of course, have read Newsome Road.

The sign was put up by contractors working for United Utilities, who were carrying out works in Newsome Road.

A spokesman said they had been made aware of the spelling mistake.
