Town welcome sign hung upside down

Council workers were left shame-faced after a town's "welcome" sign was hung upside down.

The sign - which proudly declares "Welcome to Chadderton" - was fitted on Lees Street in the Greater Manchester town.



But the blunder was spotted by a resident, who said it was left in the incorrect position overnight.

A spokesman for Oldham Council said "a genuine error was made by staff". Workers from the council have now rectified the mistake.
