Chiefs Admit Birmingham Skyline Mix-up
Birmingham City Council has admitted sending out leaflets which showed its US namesake’s skyline instead.
About 720,000 pamphlets praising Brummies for their recycling were sent around the city at a cost of £15,000.
But instead of showing landmarks such as the Rotunda and the new Selfridges building, it showed downtown Birmingham, Alabama, instead.
This isn’t the first time such a costly error has been made by a City Council in this country as the following exclusive picture shows.
