Please remember that:
-
The name of a numbered property will be held as an ‘Alias’ on the Royal Mail system , but will show on the council’s system
-
Your property number must always be clearly displayed on the front of your property.
We will not accept:
-
A property name must not be duplicate or similar to an existing property name.
-
The property name if it could lead to confusion in the delivery of goods or services or when referencing and identifying the property in an emergency.
-
A variation in the suffix eg ‘House’ or ‘Lodge’ as a reason to duplicate a property name. IE if there is already a property named ‘ Holly House’ we could not accept ‘Holly Lodge’ as Holly is already in use
Display your property number
When we allocate your new address, you are legally required to mark your property with the allocated number (or name, if no number is allocated) in such a way as to make the mark legible from the street.
- If you do not do this, organisations for delivery of goods or Emergency services will find it difficult to find your property and you may suffer delivery problems and delays of vital emergency assistance.
Approved addresses are then sent to:
-
Internal Council Departments
-
Royal Mail
-
Emergency Services
-
Government Agencies
