HOUSING bosses have allayed residents’ fears over an outbreak of ‘demon’ dogs on an estate in Colne.
An eagle-eyed Lancashire Telegraph reader spotted a Housing Pendle sign on a grassed area at the corner of North Street and Cook House Road.
Instead of warning residents about the perils of ‘exercising’ their dogs, the notice bans them from ‘exorcising’ pets.
Ian Clark, Housing Pendle’s executive director, said: “The sign has been up for a considerable length of time and it’s the first time the error has been brought to our attention.
“But we’re already making plans to have the sign amended.
"We use signs to remind people to be good neighbours, and I’m glad to say there have been no reports of demon dogs in this area.”
