Some minor official in the Borough Council. The local one in

sometimes drives me to distraction with his perversity.

At least some have a sense of humour - there's a road by Sheffield
Airport called Letsby Avenue. Appropriately enough when it was built
the only building on it was a police station.

You have been bitten by a Urban Legend I think

Postcode of "police station" and Google/Multimap link please.

Streetmap claims that there is no "Letsby Avenue" anywhere in Britain.

The papers did cover the story as a need to name an unnamed road for
emergency purposes only, and as the road had a police station Letsby
Ave came into being. However it appears that the name is genuine but
the cause was a spoof letter with a plod heading.

Now check your satnavs for Butt Hole Road...

Google maps disagrees.

However, the airport in question has now closed, so maybe it's been dug
up and turned into a business "park" already, and google is out of date.

That's not what that website says.

What else is a "heliport" but an "airport"?

Does that mean there is an airport in Battersea?

An airport is presumably assumed to have runways.

Whereas the flat roof of a tall building can even function as a heliport.
