Street signs and name plates

How to report faulty or missing street signs or name plates and how to apply for or change a street name plate.

We are responsible for new street name plates and for replacing existing street name plates on public highways within the district.
 

Apply for a new street name plate

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

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