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 responsible for making sure that street name plates are provided and fitted in suitable positions.
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 the our specification or by asking us to provide them at the developers expense.
Please let us know about damaged, missing or illegible street names plates either by emailing us or by using the Highways online report form linked from this page.
