shetlandpeat Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 From what I remember, Council and the Post Office are involved. From Post Office site How do I go about changing the name of my house or office building? We do not name or number properties or streets. This is the responsibility of the naming and numbering authority (usually called the Highways or Engineers Department) at your local council. You’ll need to make your request to them in writing along with a few alternatives in case your first choice already exists.If your property is officially numbered you can’t swap the number for a name but you can use a name in addition to the number.

owre-weel Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I have seen a notice in the post offices parcel collection point, which says you have to register house names with the council. If you phone them on 693535 they will put you through to the proper department and tell you what the process is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
