Residents are wondering if their streets have been secretly renamed!

A new street sign has sparked some red faces at Milton Keynes City Council this week.

The sign was spotted in Bletchley to direct people to two streets off Shenley Road in the west of the town.

It spells the streets ‘Clader Vale’ and ‘Wyse Close’.

One Wye Close resident said: “It was a bit of a shock to discover our road had been re-named overnight…And as for Clader Vale, that’s just ridiculous!

"Seriously, you’d think the council would get it right. We’ve been here for decades! And to see two mistake on one sign is a bit much.”

Today (Wednesday) the Citizen contacted the council, which employs contractors for signwriting. A spokesman told us: “The incorrect name plate sticker was removed this morning and a replacement with the correct street names will be made and installed shortly.”
