Warwick District Council's Engineering Services has a responsibility to ensure that most streets and other thoroughfares are not only named, but have a street name plate to identify them. However, we do not provide or maintain name plates for private roads, properties accessed from private communal driveways or individually named apartment blocks.
It is important, as we travel further from our local area, that we can find where we are and where we want to go quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, it is vital in the event of an urgent situation that you and your street can be located quickly by the emergency services.
The District Council is also responsible for the repair and maintenance of street name plates. This becomes necessary either due to accidental damage, vandalism or normal wear and tear.
Following a report, the street name plate is inspected to establish whether a repair is viable or whether a new plate is required. Unfortunately, it can take a few months for a new street name plate to appear because they are individually manufactured on a one off basis.
