The Committee considered a report asking the Committee to select a street name for a new road for a development of 209 units off Vastern Road, adjacent to the SSE substation.  The site and road layout was shown on a plan attached to the report at Appendix 1.

The report listed two suggested appropriate names that had been consulted on with Ward Councillors and stated that, if none of the proposed names were considered suitable, the Committee should select an alternative from the Approved Street Names List which was attached to the report at Appendix 2.

It was suggested at the meeting that the road should be named “Bet Tickner Way”, in honour of the former Abbey Ward Councillor and Mayor who had recently passed away.  As the proposed name had not been through the street naming checking process, a report would need to come back to a future Committee meeting for a decision to be made following the checks.

Resolved –

That officers investigate the suitability of the name Bet Tickner Way for the road in the development off Vastern Road and a report be submitted to a future meeting.
