WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL Report by the Planning, Building Standards and Environmental Health Manager Planning Committee: 12th February 2025 ___________________________________________________________________ Subject: Proposed street names for the Street Name Bank 1. PURPOSE 1.1 To provide additional names to the Street Name bank for new developments across West Dunbartonshire. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 It is recommended that the Street Names are approved as set out in Appendix 1 to expand the existing street name bank to allocate to upcoming developments. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 The names for consideration have been received from local residents of West Dunbartonshire, elected members and research on the local area. 4. MAIN ISSUES 4.1 The proposed street names derive from themes relating to the area such as notable members of the community, Industries associated with the locality and individuals involved in the architecture/design of local areas, sites and structures. 4.2 All elected members were consulted on the suggestions received and the feedback is to include full names of notable person(s), include a theme of former Provosts and depute provosts as Civic Leaders, to research other notable women of West Dunbartonshire and include a theme named after local churches which may have closed. All the above was taken forward and included in the proposed street names enclosed in appendix 1. 4.3 Elected members raised concern that some proposed words associating with Clydebank’s Industrial history of Singer would not be recognised as being associated with Singer by local people due to their technical terms and could be perceived differently than intended. Therefore, as per Appendix 1, these suggestions were removed from the proposed names. ITEM 8
