Local councillor Elfed Williams acknowledged the humour, but said the apparent joke did have a serious side.
“Anybody who knows the area knows it’s back roads and windy roads and really unsuitable for people to come along,” he said.
“People have been bemused by not finding an Aldi store here… on one level it’s amusing but on another level it is quite serious – where are the controls for Google to allow such a thing to happen?”
After a local farmer helped the lorry driver become unstuck, the pin on Google Maps was taken down and the number of people travelling through Cyffylliog has returned to normal.
