QE Lib Dem Councillors - and a cute dog!

Your Queen Edith's city councillors, Karen, Immy and Dan are asking for your suggestions to name the three roads that will be created at the Netherhall Farm site.  Please send suggestions to karen.young@cambridge.gov.uk, immy.blackburnhorgan@cambridge.gov.uk and daniel.lee@cambridge.gov.uk by Friday 25 October.  We look forward to your suggestions!

These are the rules:

  • Preference is given to names which refer to local historical heritage, natural ir landscape features of the local area.
  • New streets must not duplicate any similar name already in use in the local area such that it might cause confusion to the emergency services and/or service delivery agents.
  • Streets may occasionally be named after people. IT would be preferable ton to do so unless the person whose name has been suggested is in someway related to the particular area or village where the development is taking place. A street should never be named using a person’s full nae (This may cause confusion to an emergency operator between an individual’s name and an address). With the exception of saints or members of a royal family, the surname alone is to be used.
  • Where a new road is an extension of an existing road, it will not be allocated a new street name and properties will be numbered into the existing road.
  • Street names should not include numeric characters.
  • Street names should not be difficult to pronounce or spell.
  • Any proposed name that the Address Management Team deems to be offensive, inappropriate and/or misleading will not be approved.
  • The use of ambiguous or indistinctive names is discouraged.
  • Names which may encourage the defacing or theft or nameplates are to be avoided.
