Street Naming Notices
Under Section 18 of the Public Health Act 1925, the Council has the authority to assign names to new streets and to alter the names of existing streets where necessary. As part of this process, public notices are displayed on-site to inform residents and other interested parties of proposed street names.
Purpose of Street Naming Notices
Street Naming Notices are issued to ensure transparency and to allow for public engagement in the naming process. This helps avoid duplication, ensures clarity for emergency services, and maintains consistency in local addressing.
Consultation period
A statutory consultation period of 21 days is provided from the date the notice is displayed. During this time, residents or interested parties may submit comments or objections to the proposed street name.
Objecting to a notice
Unless otherwise indicated, all objections are to be made to:
- Address Magistrates Court, The Court House, Civic Centre, Huddersfield, HD1 2NW
