Sheffield street sign repainted 8 times because people keep turning Pool Square into Poo Square

Contractors working for Sheffield City Council have repainted the Pool Square street sign at least eight times since winning a highway maintenance contract, because vandals keep painting over the L to make it read 'Poo Square.' The figure surfaced in an FOI response that also included a statement from Richard Eyre, the council's Director of Street Scene and Regulations, who said altered signs raise a smile but that repeated damage still gets checked and repaired. The sign sits next to Sheffield Town Hall.
