Approved charges for street naming and numbering services outlined as option B with effect from 1^st April 2014 and requested that they be reviewed in 12 months.

Further to Minute No 13/42 and by way of a report by the Head of Environmental Management (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) the Cabinet considered a proposal to introduce a charge for Street Naming and Number Services.

(a)  that the proposed street naming and numbering charges outlined as option B in the table at paragraph 3.2 of the report be approved and implemented from 1^st April 2014; and

(b)  that the charges be reviewed in 12 months.
