Street naming and numbering charges
The naming and numbering of streets is a statutory function of the council and is an increasingly important aspect of modern life, often taken for granted. Shropshire delivers a comprehensive and high standard service for naming streets and numbering or naming properties which allows:
- Emergency services to find a property quickly (delays can cost lives and money)
- Mail to be delivered efficiently
- Visitors to find where they want to go
- Reliable delivery of services and products
- Records of service providers to be kept in an effective manner
Our street naming and numbering service charges cover the cost of checking the Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) for possible address duplications, entering the new/amended address(es) into the LLPG, liaising with Royal Mail and obtaining a relevant postcode, and then informing the Emergency Services and other interested parties when the address(es) have been officially created or amended.
