STAFF CO)MNT 4. 1 The Town's current practice in naming streets requires priority be given to historical names pertaining to the Town of Newcastle; particularly to the area of development. 4 .2 In reviewing any names for consideration, the Town is required to co-ordinate and approve all street names with the Region of Durham to ensure there will be no duplicating street names in neighbouring municipalities . The main objective of this system is to avoid duplication, helping to reduce errors in reporting locations during phone calls for emergency services such as fire, police and ambulance services. Regional policy does not permit the uses of names which would be a duplication within Durham Region. 4 . 3 Within the "Historical Atlas of Northumberland and Durham Counties - 1878" George Haines is illustrated as being a land owner within the immediate vicinity of Cemetery Road, within Lot 7 , Concession 1, former Town of Bowmanville. 4.4 The publication "The Townships of Darlington and Clarke" , by John Squair, confirms Mr. Haines involvement in Town activities as an assessor and as a member of Council of the Town of Bowmanville in 1858 . 4 .5 Upon contacting the Region of Durham Planning Department, it was confirmed that the name "Haines" is not a duplicating street name and placed on the reserve list for the Town of Newcastle. . . .4 5J0 REPORT NO. : PD- 54 -9 0 PAGE. . .4 5.
