2 . BACKGROUND
2 . 1 Council at their December 11th. , 1989 meeting endorsed the
following resolution:
"THAT Staff Report PD-323-89 be received;
THAT Staff be authorized to take the appropriate action pursuant
to Town Policy and the provisions of Section 210 ( 105) of the
Municipal Act, for consideration of a proposed street name change
of "Manvers Street" to "Yates Street" within the former Village of
Newcastle; and
THAT Mr. Yates be advised of Council decision. "
3 . PUBLIC NOTICE
3 . 1 Pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Act, the proposed name
change was advertised for four (4) consecutive weeks within the
local newspapers .
3 .2 One written submission, on behalf of the Newcastle Village and
District Historical Society was submitted in opposition of the
change to "Yates Street" .
3 .3 In summarizing the concerns of the Newcastle Village and District
Historical Society it was noted in their submission that the
original Hanning Plan for Bond Head illustrated the Street name in
question as Manners, not Manvers Street. The Beldon Historical
Atlas of Northumberland and Durham Counties published in 1878,
however shows it as Manvers, apparently a misspelling of the
original name.
3 .4 The Historical Society further noted that George Manners originally
purchased all the land in lot 27 and part of lot 28, Broken Front
Concession in 1837 . In 1838 he organized and was a charter
director of the Bond Head Harbour Company.

3.5 In view of the above information it was suggested by the Historical
Society that the street be renamed to "George Manners Street" .
This in turn would correct the earlier error made over 100 years
ago and retain this historical name in the community.
4 . STAFF COMMENT
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 Upon contacting the Region of Durham Planning Department, it was
confirmed that the names "Yates" and "George Manners" were not
duplications and could be placed on the reserve list for the Town
of Newcastle.
4 .3 Currently, Mrs. Yates is the only resident living on Manvers Street
and hence requested the street name change to "Yates" .
4 .4 In consideration of existing Council's policy, Staff is of the
opinion that the name "Yates" should be denied and the street
should be renamed "George Manners Street" .
5 . CONCLUSION
5. 1 Should Committee concur, re-advertising pursuant to the provgisions
of the Municipal Act is required.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
