Hello everyone! If you remember there are eight streets to name, over the last few weeks we have discussed the names with many people here in the Council and we have had agreement for the following names:
Street 1 - Fleetwood Way
Street 2 - Bede Gardens
Street 3 - Bishops Park Road
Street 4 - Wilfrid Gardens
Street 5 - Woodward Avenue
Street 6 - Walcher Grove
Street 7 - Churchill Road (Which was once Emily Street)
Therefore we need to create one more street name, (the Street previously known as Hylton Street) get looking at the maps and on the internet and come up with more excellent ideas!
I will be at Bede School on Tuesday morning and St Wilfrids on Friday afternoon to help come up with final names!!! Keep working hard you are doing some amazing work! So what do you think of the names chosen? Let us know what you think and help us come up with the final street name!
See you soon
Stephen
