>Frustrated by living in "St Johns Close", in Turnbridge Wells, Mr Gatward
>decided to buy a can of black paint and a craft brush before correcting the name
>to "St John's Close". 

>A Tunbridge Wells Borough Council spokesman said they would not be following the
>example of Birmingham City Council, which announced this year that they would be
>banning the apostrophe from road signs for simplicity.

>The spokesman added that were the signs ever to be replaced, they would be
>punctuated correctly.
