NEW street names in ward 28 covering the Denis Hurley Centre were discussed at the eThekwini Municipality’s Governance and Human Resources Committee monthly meeting on 16 October at the Durban City Hall.
At the meeting, chairperson of the committee, Councillor Mpume Sithole, said a street naming process should be followed to ensure the names are understood by residents living around the area in question.
“The street naming project will give communities a sense of belonging. We want to ensure all our people have streets with names to allow for easy identification of the street and properties and assist in efficient service delivery and in speedy response to emergency needs of the community,” said Sithole.

She said the municipality adopted the rationalisation of street address policy to ensure that all streets and buildings have names. Councillor Sithole expressed her satisfaction that the naming was conducted fairly and in line with the provision of the municipality’s street naming and addressing policy.
“The ward councillor is responsible for leading the process which should be conducted fairly to eliminate unnecessary objections which could delay the implementation of the process. The community is responsible for proposing and submitting names to the ward councillor,” said Councillor Sithole.
