A NEW sign for a park was removed – because it was spelt incorrectly.

The sign for Broomwood Park and recreation grounds in Aimson Road in Timperley is being replaced.

The display board for the play area for children between three and 14 years old showed a misspelt version of Timperley – instead saying “Timperly”.

Council contractor Amey was behind the blunder, as they installed 299 new signs across the borough.

A spokesman said: "The sign is being removed and will be replaced as soon as possible – we expect within the next couple of weeks”.
