Agenda item

To receive and consider a street naming request for a new street at the Windrush Place development.

The Committee received and considered the correspondence from West Oxfordshire District Council’s Address Management Officer. The request was for ideas for the naming of a road on the Windrush Place housing estate.

Members discussed various names associated with the De Havilland plane company. One member raised that historically Lapwings were known to frequent the area whilst the aerodrome was in operation and in which now the new road is located.

The committee ask that the nomination be for “Lapwing Fields” due to the historical relationship of the bird with the aerodrome

Resolved:

That, “Lapwing Fields” is suggested to the West Oxfordshire District Council’s Address Management Officer for forwarding to the developers.
