OFFICIALS have been left red-faced thanks to a road closure sign in Padgate.

Work started earlier this week to resurface Padgate Lane and some of the surrounding streets including Marsh House Lane.

But eagle-eyed residents spotted this sign placed next to the diversion notice on Marsh House Lane last night, Thursday.

It says 'Buisness Open as Usual'.

The contractor says a corrected version of the sign will be used from tonight, Friday, according to the council.

The road works are set to last for six weeks and will include some weekend work on Saturday, November 30 and Sunday, December 1.
