The Executive Director for Economic Growth and Neighbourhood Services submitted a report seeking approval for the addition of five new street names to the Street Names Proposals List.  The report had appended the existing Street Name Proposals list.

The five new suggested names were Day, Barnes, Goldsmith, Jones and Hanley.

The report explained that checks had been undertaken for duplicate or similar names in Reading and only “Barnes” had been found to have similar existing street names.  It was therefore suggested that Barnes could be used in Tilehurst or Caversham localities to avoid confusion with existing streets.

Resolved –   

(1)      That the five new names be approved for adding to the Street Names Proposals list, to be available for selection by the Committee for future street name allocation, subject to (2) below;

(2)      That the name Barnes be allocated in Tilehurst or Caversham only.
