Street Naming and Numbering Policy and Procedure

4.1 Every street must be clearly signposted, with nameplates being positioned at principal junctions so as to be easily readable by both pedestrians and drivers.

4.2 All street nameplates shall be designed in accordance with the Tees Valley Design Guide and Specification for Residential and Industrial Estates Development. A copy of this design guide can be found on the Middlesbrough Council website.

4.3 Developers can either supply and install the new nameplates themselves or they can have them produced and installed on their behalf by the Council. All cost associated with the supply and install of street nameplates shall be met by the developer regardless of which option is chosen.

4.4 The siting and location of street nameplates will be carefully considered by the Councils officers and agreed with the developer. In all cases the need to avoid unnecessary street furniture will always be a key consideration

4.5 No street nameplates shall be installed until such time as the street name has been confirmed, in writing, by the Council.
