City gets public urination spots
Signs have been erected across Nottingham telling residents they are allowed to pee in the streets in the evening.
However city bosses say the signs - "Public Urination Permitted After 7.30pm" - are fake and that anyone caught taking an open air pee could be prosecuted.
Many people are said to have thought the laminated notes signs were genuine as they were accompanied by a official looking letter headed with the logo of Nottingham City Council.
But the council is now taking down the signs in a bid to stop people creating their own River Trent and warns that is an offence to urinate in public.
The note said that the signs were part of a new scheme to reduce the mess faced by residents outside their homes.
It reads: "In an attempt to reduce late night public nuisance, during the holiday period, Nottingham City Council has designated several public urination areas across the city.
"This urination area will be cleaned daily between the hours of 5am and 6am."
