Borough of Telford & Wrekin

Street naming and numbering

The address of a property is increasingly becoming a very important issue. More organisations, postal and emergency services, and the general public need an efficient means of locating and referencing properties.
Telford & Wrekin Council is the street naming and numbering authority for the administrative area of Telford & Wrekin. It carries out these functions under the provisions of the Public Health Act 1925 sections 17 -19, in specific key stages.

The service provides the principal point of contact for address issues. These include street naming and numbering for new developments and properties, change of house name, street names and street name plates, renaming and renumbering. We maintain the definitive record of street names and property addresses, but are not responsible for issuing new postcodes.

The following pages detail our present processes for address management, our development of a Land & Property Gazetteer will over time update these processes.
