19 Locality Partnership: Garnock Valley Date: 6 March 2018 Subject: Street Naming Purpose: To Create a Bank of Potential Future Street Names
Background The Locality Partnership is periodically asked to propose and agree new street names. The timing of these requests can tie in with the Locality Partnership meeting schedule so allowing discussion at the Locality Partnership meeting. However they can also arise between quarterly meetings. When this happens consultation takes place by email, outwith the meeting structure. There are time pressures associated with this process as an agreed street name is needed before the Royal Mail can allocate a postcode, and consequent services be put in place. North Ayrshire Council Planning check all suggestions for suitability, including avoiding using a street name more than once across North Ayrshire and grouping similar sounding names to the same general area. They will look favourably on street names that have a connection with the local area, wider area or North Ayrshire as a whole. Streets can be named after local prominent figures, historically important events or features relating to the development area. Key Points for Locality Partnership It is proposed that the Locality Partnership devises a list of potential street names for future use. These could be names for use anywhere within the Garnock Valley, or specific to an area.This list could be drawn upon when a street naming request arises, and would help streamline the street naming process. Locality Partnership members could consult more widely to input to this list, potentially considering local heritage that they would like to recognise. Once devised it would be shared first with NAC Planning to check for suitability and then Locality Partnership members for comment. Action Required by Locality Partnership The Locality Partnership is asked to agree this proposal, engage with the local community over potential street names and feedback suggestions to the Community Planning Team ([email protected]). For more information please contact: Morna Rae, Community Planning Team Leader, [email protected]
