There are fears drivers may be confused by a "welcome to Frome" sign, because it's been relocated to Midsomer Norton.

This place is ten miles away from the town where it should be.

It's the latest in the spree of mysterious appearances - with Farrington Gurney residents greeted with a "Welcome to Glastonbury" sign.

Meanwhile, the signpost welcoming people to Kilmersdon has popped up on the Frome boundary.

A spokesperson for Somerset Council told us: “We are aware of this latest incident and remind those involved that this is an act of criminal damage which will need to be repaired at public expense.

"If residents see something like this happening they should contact the police.”
