Where a housing estate has been taken in charge by the Council, responsibility for the maintenance of residential estate road signage, including nameplates, rests with the Council. In such cases, where road name signage is damaged or defaced, this can be reported to the Council and the Road Maintenance Section will arrange for replacement of the signage.

Where a housing estate remains private, or where the Taking in Charge process has not been fully completed, responsibility for the maintenance and replacement of road signage rests with the developer.

In addition, there is a commitment within the current three-year Capital Programme (2026–2028) to a signage replacement programme to ensure compliance with the statutory requirements of the Official Languages Act
