AT only 25 yards long, it's one of the shortest streets in St Helens . . . but it's got no fewer than three nameplates and two separate names. Which must cause quite a bit of head-scratching among puzzled visitors to the town centre.
That mini-stretch, linking Baldwin Street with Ormskirk Street, and by the side of the Greek restaurant and cafe, begins life on one side of its short carriageway as John Street. Yet directly opposite it has a nameplate reading North John Street.
And just to compound the confusion, there's a third nameplate, stating North John Street, on the same side as the John Street sign!
Will somebody responsible for street naming please make up their minds. It's almost as confusing as that ridiculous 'round-the-houses rally route' behind the town hall, where motorists grow prematurely old in attempting to get from the town centre to Parr.
