9.1. Warwick District Council has a responsibility to ensure that most streets and other thoroughfares are named and 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. For more details visit street name plates. On new housing or office developments, the responsibility for providing the first street name plate rests with the property developer. After that, once the road is adopted by Warwickshire County Council, the name plate will be maintained or replaced by the district council in the event of damage

9.2. 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.

9.3. The Council is also responsible for the repair and maintenance of street name plates. This can be due to accidental damage, vandalism or normal wear and tear.
