The Council has statutory powers to carry out the naming of
streets. This includes the provision, maintenance, repair and
replacement of street nameplates, together with village name signs
that are found at the entrance to the villages in South
Staffordshire. It does not however include road traffic signs or
directional signs, as these are the responsibility of Staffordshire
County Council who are the Highway Authority for the area.
Street nameplates play a vital role in enabling people to find
their way in unfamiliar surroundings, e.g. visitors to the area,
postal deliveries, and the emergency services responding to a call.
It is therefore vital that they are suitably located and
maintained. Local residents can help to achieve this by reporting
defects or deficiencies to the Council so that suitable action can
be arranged.
To report a damaged or missing street nameplate in South
Staffordshire please use our damaged or missing street nameplate form.
To enquire about new or additional street nameplates, please
contact the Engineering Services Unit on the contact details
below.
There are no associated costs for reporting a damaged or
missing street nameplate.
