KIRKBYMOORSIDE Town Council has proposed nine street names for the Manor Woods development.

The council’s initial response was there was a lack of relevance of the proposed names, and the suggestion that reference to the history and geography of the site should be made.

It was agreed to respond to North Yorkshire County Council’s Planning Authority expressing support for the street names proposed by the Kirkbymoorside History Group as follows: Howkeld Close, Hoveton Square, Starfitts Close, Bridge Row, Robin Howl Road, Ploughlands Grove, Pasture Road, Windmill Avenue and Crofters Mews.
