Street Naming and Numbering


Tendring District Council is the Street Naming and Numbering authority for the Tendring District. All proposals for new street names and property numbers or changes of street or property name in the District must, by law, be sent to the Council for approval before being brought into use. The principal pieces of legislation are:

  • The Towns Improvement Clauses Act 1847
  • The Local Government Act 1985

This includes responsibility for:

  • Erecting the names of public streets and ensuring that the names and / or numbers of buildings are displayed by the owners in accordance with Regulations made by the District Council, and
  • Informing all owners and occupiers of naming and numbering orders

Read our Advice on the Naming and Numbering of Streets and Buildings for full details of the procedure to be followed.

Any naming / numbering requests must be made in writing to:

Mr C Brown
Technical & Procurement Services
Tendring District Council
Town Hall
Station Road
Clacton on Sea
Essex
CO15 1SE

or by email to namingandnumbering@tendringdc.gov.uk.

Telephone enquiries should be directed to Chris Brown on 01255 686941.
