Road marking blunder as “disadled” parking space appears
The rogue ‘D’ in ‘disadled’ was later painted over crudely to resemble a ‘B’.

A Dundee resident was left baffled when council workers left wonky lines and misspelled road signage on her disabled parking space near her flat.

Jennifer Davidson, who has limited mobility due to MS, has also been left with a smaller spot than previously.

When the rogue ‘D’ in ‘disadled’ was pointed out to the council, workers returned to crudely paint over the ‘D’ so it resembled a ‘B’, leaving the space in an even worse mess, according to Jennifer.

She said: “They re-painted the sign because it was starting to fade.

“I’d have thought they would just go over the lines and the writing that was already there – it had the right spelling previously, so I don’t know how they’ve managed to do this.

“The lines aren’t even straight either, it all looks a bit wonky.

“A rushed job”

“It looks like they’ve scrubbed out what was there and started from scratch, but they’ve clearly done a rushed job.

“My car now barely fits into the space – it appears to be slightly tighter than what was there before.

“Then they came round again to correct it, but it looks a mess.

“I suppose it is a bit funny, I do see the humorous side.”

A spokesperson for Dundee City Council said: “We are sorry for these errors which will be corrected as soon as possible.”
