Street signs

We responsible for ensuring that street name plates are provided and fitted in suitable locations.

It is important, as we travel further from our local area, that we can find where we are and where we want to go quickly and efficiently. Most importantly it is vital in the event of an urgent situation that you and your street can be  located quickly by the Emergency Services.

We are also responsible for repair and maintenance of street name plates when this becomes necessary, either due to accidental damage, vandalism or normal wear and tear.

In the case of a new development however, the developer is responsible for the erection of name plates to our specification.

Go to the street numbering and naming pages for information for developers.

How long will it take to replace a damaged street name plate?
It will take at least six weeks for a replacement to be ordered and made-up. Once the nameplate has been delivered it will be erected on site within twenty eight days of delivery.

To report damaged, missing or illegible street names plates please contact:
