This time pedestrians wondering around the centre on the look out for the bus station will find themselves directed towards the Stanningley Bypass, rather than Market Square.
Local worker Cheryl Elsom spotted the mistake and reported it to Leeds City Council, and she believes that the other landmarks detailed on the cast iron signpost, pictured, are also wrong.

“The sign for the bus station was directed towards Stanningley Bypass.
“I noted that the town hall had become a bank and the market could be found somewhere between Lowtown and Robin Lane.
