Are you sure about that? I thought the Local Authority was responsible
for street naming and numbering and that the PO was, perhaps, just a
consultee in the process. Why don't you take the issue up with the LA?

I am not sure about what I said. I automatically thought that it must be the
PO. After all why should anyone other than the PO who are responsible for
mail and post codes etc. be involved. I didn't know the Local Authority
were responsible.

I will go to the council and find out what idiot there is causing me grief.
I have lost two parcels of things I sent for ( first time ever ) about six
moths ago . I lost a CRB clearance which I know went to " the other"
foxgloves ( the one with a similar post code) , because after six months
they decided to forward it to me! Now I nearly lost a phone. The driver
told me about the confusion. Even the Post Office themselves tried to send
him to a different Foxgloves ( the new one in our village)

But of course they have given out the name now haven't they?
So my question remains. How can I change my house name so as not to have
confusion?
