THERE’S neither a church or a hill on the A1101 as it makes its way into Wisbech - but visitors to the town could be forgiven for searching for both those landmarks after a new road sign was erected in town.
Churchill Road sign Wisbech at Freedom Bridge roundabout.Red faced council officials have admitted that the new sign erected on Churchill Road has given it a completely new name.
Churchill Road is named to honour the famous Second World War prime minister – but the new sign has been put up with Sir Winston’s name divided into two.
The sign – newly erected at the junction of Norwich Road and Churchill Road – has declared the road name Church Hill Road.
A spokesman from Fenland District Council said: “Thank you for drawing our attention to this mistake. We will take the necessary steps to ensure a correct sign is ordered and installed.”
