Road sign bungle sees Yorkshire sign erected in Lincolnshire
Yorkshire is big enough without impinging on my beautiful county! This story tells us:
Residents in a North Lincolnshire village have been left feeling a little disorientated after a road sign was erected welcoming people to Yorkshire.
The mysterious sign, which can be seen by motorists entering Sandtoft, appeared earlier this week.
One resident said it was about 150m (492ft) from the original Welcome to North Lincolnshire sign – on the same side of the road.
Some have suggested it is the work of contractors unfamiliar with the area.
The local authority, North Lincolnshire Council, said it was unaware of the sign, while the neighbouring authority, Doncaster Council, has yet to respond to a request for comment.
Posting in a local Facebook group, one resident said it appeared the sign had been put up on the wrong side of the road and facing the wrong way.
