Street naming and numbering is the statutory responsibility of local authorities and is carried out in conjunction with property developers, community groups and local councillors. For further information please see the Policy and Procedures document below.
We are governed by the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, Section 97 and addressing complies to the British Standard (BS7666).
