Street signs throughout Stanthorpe have been misspelt, as brought up at the last council meeting of 2021.
Councillor Stephen Tancred noted in the meeting that Lock Street was spelt two different ways.
“It comes down to human error,” Cr Tancred said.
He said although these have been amended, the sign outside the library carpark still says ‘Locke’ instead of ‘Lock’.
Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor Vic Pennisi said having the correct signs is important.
“We’re very conscious of it and we try and sort that out where we can,” Cr Pennisi said.
Cr Tancred said there are other street signs in Stanthorpe with multiple spellings which will hopefully be corrected over the coming months.
He said that the correctly spelt ‘Pancor Road’ sign from the highway bypass has been removed, and only the main misspelt ‘Pancour Road’ sign remains.
Cr Tancred also said that the main ‘Gangemi Road’ sign is misspelt as ‘Gamgemi’.
