A CITY funeral director says people are mistakenly coming to them for the Covid vaccine due to a sat nav error.
Residents looking for St Johns House Medical Centre are being led to Bedwardine Funeral Services, a mile down the road.
Worcester resident, Paul Steel, said he had struggled to find the right place. He said: "I turned up at the old address, which is actually the site of Bedwardine funeral services, and found other people wondering around looking for the medical centre, which is 1.2miles away! I don’t think the funeral director is very happy either."
A member of staff at the funeral parlour said: "We get four to five people coming everyday, mainly older people, it is not good for any of us. They don't want to come to a funeral directors expecting a Covid jab. They are very frustrated and confused when we have to turn them away.
"It seems to be an error on Google Maps whereby if you don't have the latest update the address for the GP surgery leads people here. We can only direct people to the right place, but yes, it is definitely causing problems."
