Some people on social media had speculated it was Gloucestershire County Council’s fault, as they are responsible for managing the road network.
But the council explained it was in fact Wales and West Utilities who had been carrying out work there and repatching it afterwards.
The utilities company said the “fix” was part of their work to upgrade the gas network.
“Contractors working on our behalf have been to the site to reinstate the road surface but unfortunately, when replacing the road markings they have misspelt the wording on the tarmac,” a spokesperson said.
“As soon as we were made aware, we contacted the contractors to request that they return to the site and rectify this as quickly as possible.
“The team have now replaced the markings with the full and correct spelling,” they added.
