Council admits mis-spelling sign

Mr Fullager designed a new kind of diesel engine at the turn of the century

A council in Warwickshire has admitted incorrectly spelling the name of a new street but said it is too late to change it.

Only a few residents know that the road they live on is named after Hugh Fullager who worked on a version of the diesel engine around 100 years ago.

But, on the sign his surname is spelt as Follager.

A spokesman for Rugby Borough Council told the BBC that it would not be changing the sign.

Spokesman John Kerslake said: "Residents have moved in and the disruption to residents alone in changing the spelling of the name would be quite onerous on them.

"It's unfortunate but we have decided that we cannot do anything about it at this stage."
