A group of confused builders managed to erect scaffolding on the wrong house after failing to check their satnav.
A baffled resident returned to his home to find scaffolding around his property as a result of the confusion. The mix-up occurred when the builders went to the wrong address following the advice of the sat-nav.
The scaffolding was put up on a property in Windmill Close in Barkway, Royston. However, this was the wrong Windmill Close. The correct address was situated just 8 miles away, in Bassingbourn.
Both streets have an SG8 postcode, yet Google maps and a number of digital maps, including sat-nav maps, reportedly show the newly built road when the older one is searched for.
