Naming conventions
Renaming and renumbering streets and buildings
On certain occasions it may be appropriate to rename or renumber a street. This will only be considered as a last resort when:
- There is confusion over a street’s name and/or numbering
- A group of residents are unhappy with their street name
- New properties are built and there is a need for other properties to be renumbered to accommodate the new properties
- The number of unnumbered properties in a street is felt to be confusing for visitors, deliveries or emergency services
Residents of the relevant street will be consulted, along with the Royal Mail.
Residents affected by the changes will be balloted. A two-thirds majority is required for the change to be approved.
