Villagers are campaigning to change the name of a new street because it translates into ‘Masturbation Meadow’.

Julia Newsham has launched a petition to change the name of Cae Onan in her home village of Morda, near Oswestry, Shropshire, on the Welsh borders.

The 48-year-old believes council planners meant to call it Cae Onnen which translates as ‘Ash Meadow’ but was shocked when friends told her what this version means.
