“Former Mayor, Leo Ronald Hoffman was commemorated in 1987 by a plaque that was laid in his honour, however our internal systems have been spelling the name Hoffman Terrace (one ‘n),” the letter read.

Residents have been told they will “need to amend” their address for all personal correspondence.
