Street name plates

When there is a new development in the Borough, the developer installs initial street name plates. Once the roads and pavements have been adopted by Hampshire County Council, we take responsibility for any future maintenance and repair of the name plates. We have a small budget to replace old signs as required. The current specification for street name plates is set out in the diagram below.

If you wish to report a problem with your local street name plate, please do so by it using the online form or email customerservicecentre@fareham.gov.uk or telephone 01329 236100.
