PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 3. 1 Pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Act, the proposed name change was re-advertised for four (4) consecutive weeks within the local newspapers . 3 .2 No written submissions have been received in respect of the re- advertisement. 3 . 3 As contained in Staff report PD-53-90, the Newcastle Village and District Historical Society noted in their submission that the original Hanning Plan for Bondhead illustrated the street name in question as Manners, not Manver Street. The Belton 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 went on to note 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 X80 REPORT NO. : PD- 122-90 PAGE 3_ 3 .5 In view of the above information it was suggested by the Historical Society that the street be renamed to "George Manners Street" . 4 . STAFF COMMENTS 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 The Region of Durham Planning has confirmed that the name "George Manners Street" would not be in duplication and accordingly place it on the reserve list for the Town of Newcastle. 5 .
