BEMUSED passers-by have spotted this road sign in Worcester - which should say 'Angel Place'.

Red-faced council chiefs say they will be replacing this bright blue sign, placed alongside a busy city road, after members of the public started to point out the error.

The signage, which was spotted in The Butts near The Hive, can be seen spelling out 'Angle Place'.

One passer-by said: "The highways department needs to check its spelling skills."

Councillor John Smith, the cabinet member with for highways said: "Unfortunately, an error in the wording of the sign occurred during manufacture so we have asked our signing contractor to rectify the problem as soon as possible."
