Llanfairpwll: Betting firm criticised for 'silly stunt' after changing sign

Residents of a village with one of the longest names in the world took matters into their own hands after a betting firm tampered with their welcome sign.

Visitors to Llanfairpwll on Anglesey were recently greeted with a modified sign that mocked Chelsea Football Club.

A local councillor accused Paddy Power of failing to ask permission to make the change after locals took it down.

The firm said it plans to launch a "formal petition" to have its sign made permanent.

Llanfairpwll Community Council are responsible for the sign in the village.
