1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 At the March 4, 2002 Public Meeting for the proposed street name change request of
"George Manners Street" to "Yates Road", the General Purpose and Administration
Committee tabled Report PSD-011-02 and requested staff to consult the Newcastle
Village and District Historical Society and Mr. Famcomb Le Gresley about the
acceptability of changing "George Manners Street" to "Bond Head Street".
1.2 Staff reviewed the possibility of changing "George Manners Street" to "Bond Head
Street" with Mr. Myno Van Dyke, President of the Newcastle Village and District
Historical Society, other society directors and members, and Mr. Farncomb Le Gresley.
The response is as follows:
. The Newcastle Village and District Historical Society feels the name "George
Manners" should remain unchanged. (See Attachment 1)
· Mr. Le Gresley prefers the street name "George Manners" remain unchanged.
However, if Council sees fit to change the name he would prefer it be changed to
"Bond Head".
1.3 Another nearby resident, Mr. Bill Skitch wrote to the Mayor (Correspondence Item D-1),
suggesting that he would support a change of the street name of "George Manners
Street" to another name of historical significance or "Bond Head Boulevard".
1.4 If Council deems it appropriate to endorse changing the name to "Bond Head Street",
this proposed street name change must be advertised in the local newspaper (The
Canadian Statesman) for four (4) consecutive weeks as per the requirements of the
Municipal Act. It is estimated this advertising would cost $1,900.00.
2.0 CONCLUSION
2.1 Given the above positions, staff support the recommendations contained within Report
PSD-011-02.

Re: Planning File PLN 25,1.43 - Proposed Street Name Change of George Manners Street
Dear Bob;
Today, the Board of Directors of the Newcastle Village and District Historical Society
held a Director's Meeting and a further discussion was initiated regarding the proposed
street name change of George Manners Street.
It is our understanding that another option was presented at the recent Council meeting on
Monday, March 4, 2002. This option was that the street in question be re-named Bond
Head Street. After discussion, the Directors unanimously agreed that the name "George
Manners Street" is the appropriate name and that they are not aware of any valid reason
to change it to another name.
In summary, the Directors of the Newcastle Village and District Historical Society
oppose the change of the name of this street (for the reasons addressed in our letter dated
Feb. 13/02) and respectfully request that the existing name of the street "George Manners
Street" be retained.
Kindest regards,

REPORT NO.: PSD-Ol1-02
PAGE 2
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 On September 25,2001, Ms. Norma Yates wrote to Council requesting that Council
change the name of "George Manners Street" to "Yates Road" (Attachment 1).
George Manners Street is maintained year-round by the Municipality between
Metcalf Street and Queen Street. South of Queen Street to Boulton Street the road
allowance is unopened (Attachment 7).
1.2 Council, on October 29, 2001, passed a resolution notifying Ms. Yates of the
procedure for changing a street name and directed them to make an application to
the Planning Services Department.
1.3 On December 10, 2001, Planning Services received an application from Ms. Norma
Yates requesting the street name change (Attachment 2).
1.4 Twelve (12) properties would be affected by any name change. Staff would note
there are only nine property owners, including the Municipality. Only one property
owner, the applicant, has a residence on the street. Any name change will affect
both the open and unopened portions of George Manners Street.
2.0 PUBLIC NOTICE
2.1 Pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Act, the proposed name change was
advertised for four (4) consecutive weeks in The Canadian Statesman/Clarinqton
This Week. In addition, it was advertised for two (2) weeks in the Orono Weekly
Times.
2.2 As a result of the public notification process, there has been one telephone inquiry
and four written submissions. The telephone inquiry was from a relative of one of
the property owners. The caller noted the Yates name was not as historic in Bond
Head as some other family names and using the name could possibly set a
precedent for people applying to have streets named after themselves.
REPORT NO.: PSD-011-02
PAGE 3
2.3 Mr. Sam Cureatz, representing a family owning land on the street, submitted a
letter dated February 13,2002 (Attachment 3) noting the historicity of the George
Manners name. He also stated they owned more land on the street than the Yates
and their family name should be considered if the street name is changed to a
family name. In the interim if a change is deemed necessary, the suggestion of
"Bond Head" Drive or Boulevard was put forward.
2.4 Mr. Bill Skitch, a resident affected by any name change stated that while he was
not a deep roots resident of the community, he respected and appreciated the
historical significance of names which preserve a community's past (Attachment 4).
As such he would not see the merit in this application to change the name.
2.5 Mr. Myno Van Dyke, on behalf of the Newcastle Village and District Historical
Society advised that the Historical Society at their Directors meeting on February
12, 2002, endorsed a motion opposing the name change request (Attachment 5).
Mr. Van Dyke's letter goes on to state:
"The Hanning Plan of 1868 clearly shows this street as "Manners". This street was
originally called "Manners Street" after George Manners who was an important
historical figure in the development of the community of Bond Head.
2.6 Mr. Famcomb Le Gresley not only commented through the above-mentioned
lawyer but he prepared his own submission (Attachment 6) stating his strong
objection to the name change request, his deep family roots in Bond Head and his
extensive property holdings on George Manners Street. He also defended the
"George Manners" name choice.
3.0 STAFF COMMENTS
3.1 Ms. Yates noted in her original letter to Council that there was confusion over the
name of George Manners Street. Staff consulted with the Durham Regional 911
Dispatch Centre and Clarington Emergency Services Staff. They indicated that
they had never heard of confusion of any kind associated with the "George
Manners" street name.
REPORT NO.: PSD-011-02
PAGE 4
3.2 Ms. Yates provided a copy of their electricity bill, which spells their mailing address
incorrectly as "George Mannors" and indicates that their services address is "573
Manvers Road". There is no such address in Newcastle Village. It is suggested
that the incorrect address information could be clarified with Veridian through a
telephone call.
3.3 As noted in Mr. Van Dyke's letter, a similar request to change the "then" street
name of "Manvers Street" to "Yates Street" was put forth to Council for
consideration in 1990.
The Historical Society noted at that time in their submission 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, showed it as Manvers, apparently, a
misspelling of the original name.
The Historical Society went on to note 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.
3.4 In view of this information, Council in 1990 denied the request to change "Manners
Street" to "Yates Street" and authorized staff to initiate a name change to "George
Manners Street".
3.5 The Municipality has traditionally accepted proposed street names that reflect a
historical connection' within Clarington. Furthermore, Council as of May 2001
expanded this policy to include the use of war dead and war veterans' names.
4.0 CONCLUSION
4.1 In the light of the above comments staff does not support changing the name of
"George Manners Street" to "Yates Road" and respectfully recommends the
request be DENIED.

Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of Council:
I am writing to request that our road name be changed. It was called
Manvers Street, and we are the only house on this road. There is a Manvers
street in the centre of Newcastle village, which houses many families. For
some unknown reason someone changed the name of our street to Manners
and this has caused even more confusion than the last name did. For one
thing I don't think anyone can discern the difference between Manvers and
Manners. We have had ambulances arrive, carpets dropped off, and even the
police to arrest someone we had never heard of - quite frightening really!
As we are the only family on the street and have been there well over
thirty years we would really like it to be named Yates Street, Avenue, or
Boulevard, or at least something very distinct from Manners or Manvers.
My husband, Roger and our four sons join me in thanking all of you
for your time and consideration of this matter, and look forward to your
reply in the near future. -.:.~~-i~~

Dear Mr. Taylor:
RE: STREET NAME CHANGE REQUEST
"GEORGE MANNERS DRIVE" TO "YATES ROAD"
Thank you for your letter of November 26th. I would like to
point out that never before have we filed an application or sent in
any fees. As for our neighbours, we haven't any on our street, we
are the only ones, The neighbour that wished the name change
from Manvers to George Mapners was Herb Taylor. The historical
board have no interest in the subject and we have canvassed the
neighbours and no one seems to care what the street is called as no
one else lives on it, The house was there for about 150 years with
no street sign of any kind, "Manvers" was the name on the old
Hanning Plan and our tiny road was just a continuation ofthe
Manvers Street in the village north of us which has many residents.
I am enclosing a copy of our electrical bill which is just one
of many I can send you with the confusing address of 573 Manvers
Page 2.
Road, which I have highlighted for you. It is also addressed to 26
George Manors St. Conversely, many of our bills and statements
are not getting to us, or arriving very late after going to others first.
It seems the last change was the work of one man, namely
Herb Taylor who requested the name George Manners Road for
our tiny lane and it has caused us no end of trouble. I hope you
can see your way clear to granting our request.
Enclosed please find our cheque for $1,605.00 requisite fee
for a name change application,
Thank you so much for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

Dear Madam:
I represent Balfour LeGresley and Famcomb LeGresley. They have received a notice
about a proposed name change from George Manners Street to Yates Road.
Please be advised that my clients object to the name change for the fOllowing reasons:
1.George Manners was, I believe the first Harbour Master for the Port of Newcastle
and hence there is a historical reason why the name should remain the same.
2. My clients between them own the rest of the properly on either side of the street snd
if anything the street should be named by their surname. However. this is not their
intention. If there is a suggestion for a name change then something more reflective of
the community cluster would seem in order.
Namely: (I) Bond Head Dr. or (il) Bond Head Blvd.
Yours Truly

Dear Mayor Mutton;
I am a resident and owner of land which abuts the right-of-way of George
Manners Street, south of Queen Street in (Bond Head) Newcastle. I have
seen in the local newspaper that there is an application, PLN 25.1.43,
which proposes to change the name of George Manners Street to Yates
Road.
While not a deep-roots resident of the community, I respect and
appreciate the historical significance of names which help preserve a
community's past I cannot see any merit in this application to change
the name, and would vote' no' to the proposal if such a vote were
requested.

Dear Mayor Mutton and Members of Coundl;
I wish to advise you that the Newcastle Village and District Historical Society opposes the proposal to
change the name of "George Manners Street" to "Yates Road". Our Historical SocJety held a Director's
Meeting on February 12. 2002 and a motion was made and carried that the Newcastle Village and
District Historical Society send this letter outlining our opposition to this proposal
The Hanning Plan of 1868 dearly shows this street as "Manners". This street was originally called
"Manners Street" after George Manners who was an important historical figure in the development of
the community of Bond Head.
In 1990, there was an Identical proposal to change the name of this street which was properly dealt
with by The Corporation of the Town of Newcastle. This proposal was in response to some confusion
between "Manners Street" and "Manvers Street" in Newcastle. The Newcastle Village and District
Historical Society provided input and assIStance and an excellent deci~ion was made to rename the
street "George Manners Street". We are now qurte pu=J.ed as to why this identical scenario is being
brought up again twelve yedrs later.
There should be no confusion now. There are numerous other streets in Newcastle that have slightly
sinUlar names. For example. Graham and Sydenham (both have "ham" in them) Rutherford and
Standford both have "ford", Lakeshore and Lakeview both have "lake", Willow and Wilmot, Hart and
Arthur and so on. There is no valid reason for re-naming these either.
I have attached three documents. One is from the Corporation of the Town of Newcastle, dated
February 13, 1990, which outlines the denial of ch.mgmg the name to "Yates" .md approval of
changing the name to "George Manners Street". Secondly, d copy of a letter 5O!nt ~qJN.J~~mqr;2tjo- ..
Planning from Francis W. Jose, who was President of the Newcastle Village and ~tRtJ~ ~
Sodety in 1990,~h1Ch includes historical comments and the suggestion to renajnlifttili;tr-' ur~~~gp .
Manners Street . And, lastly, a copy of the 1868 1.lanning Plan of Bond Head sf1<Jttle~ street .
question named "MdlUlers".
y ours truly,
lh

Dear Sir;
In regard to the proposal to change the name of Manvers
Street in Bond Read, the Revoastle Village and District
Historical Society would like to present the following
information.
The original.Jlsnning Plan of Bond Head, of wich we have
a COW, show thill n&IIIII as Manners not Manvera Street.
The Belden Atlas publ1ehed in 1878, however, show it
all Manvers, aJlP8X'tll1tlJ' a IIiSllpelliJ!g of the or1&1nal.
George l'Ialmera purohaaed all the land in Lot 27 and part
of Lot 28 BJ', now BoIId Head, in 18'7. In 18'8 he orge.nized
and was a charter director of the Bond Bead Harbour Company.
In view of the above iDf'o~tion we "Ould suggest that
the street be renamed George Manners Street. This would
correct the error made oyer 1 00 years ~ and reta1.n
this historical name in thll community.
Yours truly,
1-tl e c.k.-<;, .a{1 <>u-

Re: Planniol! File PLN 25.1.43 Prooosed Street Name Cbanl!e-Georl!e Manners Street
Dear Mayor Mutton:
I wish to state my strong objection to the proposal to change the name of "George Manners
Street" to .Vates Road".
My family have resided at Ebor House, on property which extends from Mill Street to George
Manners Street, for approximately 150 years. I now own all of the land on the east side of
George Manners Street from Metcalf Street on the North to Boulton Street on the south. George
Manners Street was originally Manners Street, being historically named after one of the
prominent persons in the early days of Bond Head and Newcastle.
In 1990 there was an identical proposal to rename this street, then named Manners Street, to
avoid an apparent conflict with Manvers Street. At that time Manners Street was renamed
George Manners. By so doing, the name conflict was completely resolved and the historical
significance of this street was at the same time greatly enhanced.
In summary, being the major land owner on George Metcalf Street, and having significant
ancestral roots in Bond Head and Newcastle and an appreciation for the heritage of this
municipality I strongly object to this Proposed Street name change.
Respectfully,
~::=.t~
