At least some have a sense of humour - there's a road by Sheffield

You have been bitten by a Urban Legend I think
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...
