Renaming Existing Streets

Please complete the application form below to request a re-name of an existing street or to add a name to an un-named street.

A reason for the request together with some evidence must be included.

Due to the upset caused to the residents a street rename will only be undertaken if:

• The existing name is now offensive or inappropriate.
• There is a duplicate or similar name which now causes problems.
• There is no current official name.
• The Emergency Services request it.

The Street Naming team will provisionally check the information you provide.

If your request is valid we will contact you to take a non-refundable payment to continue with the process and with the residential consultation.

Please be aware that payment does not guarantee your suggested street name will be approved or used.
