Row erupts after development named 'Pogue Muhone Court'

Developers have given a new estate a rude name after neighbours opposed their planning application.

Proposals to demolish an Edwardian home in Old Bath Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and replace it with six new houses was agreed by Cheltenham Borough Council this week despite objections from locals.

The O'Gorman family who owned the property have given the new development the name Pogue Muhone Court - Irish folk band The Pogues were founded in 1982 as Pogue Mahone, being the Anglicisation of the Gaelic pog mo thoin, meaning "kiss my a***".

Owners Kevin and Susan O'Gorman say the name refers to their family village in County Tipperary, Ireland.

Though there's no official application to call it that, so it won't be the real address.
