Appeal to scrap rude street name

A petition has been launched to change the name of a street after residents described it as offensive.

People living in Bell End in Rowley Regis, Sandwell, West Midlands, have complained it is one of the rudest street names in the UK.

The petition has so far attracted 12 signatures after claims that young residents would be bullied at school.

Residents have now called on Sandwell Council to change the name of the street because they have become a “laughing stock”.
