New addresses
By law, all premises must have an approved address to allow for the delivery of goods and mail, and for use in an emergency.
New addresses: Royal Arsenal
But have you ever wondered who is responsible for your street name or property number?
The answer lies with the Council who, as the naming and numbering authority in borough, is responsible for the allocation of the street names and numbers of buildings. Therefore, any proposed
new street name
or
building number
must be approved by the Council prior to being used.
To find out more about the approval process, use the links on your left.
