A report by the Programme Director, ICT, Information Management and Workplace Transformation is circulated.

Cllr John Noeken, Cabinet Member for Resources presented the report which sought endorsement and adoption of the Council’s new Street Naming and Numbering Policy approval of the revised process for Street Naming and Numbering service following consultation.

Resolved:

That Cabinet approves the Street Naming and Numbering Policy and process as set out in Appendix A to the report presented which had been developed following consultation with Town and Parish Councils.

Reason for Decision

By approving the above proposals, Wiltshire Council will have a sound legal and policy framework on which to deliver the Street Naming and Numbering service in an efficient and customer-focused fashion. The revised process allows Town and Parish Councils to have control over new street names in their area, without significantly changing the volume of administration, while still allowing Wiltshire Council to comply with its statutory obligations in respect of street naming and numbering.
