All responses need to be returned by 13 January 2019 in order to be counted. After this date, we will review all submitted surveys in order to identify the most popular theme and produce a long list of possible names. We will then ask for your help again to select individual names for each of the four blocks in order to take forward to the street naming officer for approval.
