Isis Way: Should this street change its name?

A group of residents in Derbyshire has appealed to their council to change the name of the street they live on, because it's called Isis Way.

Despite being named after the River Isis, the tributary of which joins the River Thame in Oxfordshire to become the River Thames, residents say it is now associated too much with the terrorist group that goes by the same name.

Residents told reporter Manveen Rana that people are struggling to open bank accounts or get online deliveries "because people think it is a fictitious address".
