COUNCILLORS have admitted to a Christmas cracker of a mistake which appeared on thousands of festive cards.

Wivenhoe residents have been wished “sessions greetings” after Lib Dem ward councillors Mark Cory and Andrea Luxford-Vaughan missed the obvious spelling mistake.

All 4,000 have still been delivered to residents, featuring a wintery Wivenhoe design.

Mr Cory said: “Cllr Luxford-Vaughan is very good at the design but less good on the spelling. It is not a surprise we are both dyslexic and missed this glaring error.”

Ms Luxford Vaughan added: “Apart from the typos, it is a nice gesture at Christmas to hand deliver the cards to every door. I just hope people enjoy a good session over this seasonal period.”
