A street in the Scottish Borders is to be renamed - after residents complained about its Italian name.Ah, Station Brae. How imaginative, how romantic, how mellifluous. Or maybe not.
The cul-de-sac in Earlston was called Cappella Maggiore after a request by the community council to honour the town they twinned with in 2004.
However, residents moving into the new homes - which cost between £160,000 and £240,000 - have complained that it sounds "ridiculous".
Scottish Borders Council has agreed to rename the street Station Brae.
