Naming and numbering

We are responsible for naming and numbering new streets, properties and developments within North Somerset.

Property addresses are increasingly becoming a very important issue as the police, emergency services, general public and other organisations require an efficient means of locating and referencing properties.

We consult with various bodies including parish councils, the Royal Mail and developers before choosing any new road names.

However, names which are already in existence locally will not be repeated in any new roads or buildings.

For further information about our services download our A number for your house leaflet and Street Naming and Property Numbering Policy.

We are also keen to improve the quality of our services for local businesses and private individuals.

Therefore, please take a few minutes to complete our online Street Naming and Numbering Survey to tell us what you think of our work. All responses will be treated as confidential.
