Ye Cannae Make This Up...


Regular readers to this blog may know my opinions of local authorities. So this story, from the BBC News website, needs no more comment from me.

A council has admitted workers painted a warning sign outside a nursery school despite it closing 10 years ago. The yellow zig-zag "school keep clear" sign has been painted in Aberdeen at St Peter's Nursery in The Spital.

The work - costing about £200 - was carried out despite the building being boarded up.

An Aberdeen City Council spokeswoman said: "Staff have been instructed to check orders for all outstanding works to ensure they are still required."
