A village that campaigned to return a missing 't' to its name has a fresh headache after a series of misspelled signs were put up.
Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain was the subject of a long-running row over the spelling of the village name.
It had argued the original spelling was a mistake made in the mid-1800s when 'Llansantffraid', which took its name from the female Celtic Saint Brigit, wrongly described her as a man.The council had said that dropping the 't' correctly identified her as a woman, but after much unhappiness, and a public vote, the 't' was restored in 2014.
Powys County Council has confirmed that the mistake was down to 'human error' and said it would be replacing the signs in the near future.One of the misspelled road signsMr Williams said:"It is absolutely ludicrous, they have had all this time to put the matter right and they have issued new signs which they promised the whole village they would do, and they have done the spelling wrong.
