SOUTH Lakeland District Council is to take action to address the problem of a large proportion of properties in Grange having house names rather than numbers.

Grange town councillors have expressed concern about the difficulties for postmen and emergency vehicles locating houses because they are named rather than numbered and in October wrote to the council highlighting the problem. SLDC's building control manager responded to Monday's meeting of the council saying that in April the authority would be commencing survey of addresses in parts of the town with a view to encouraging householders on "one or two streets a year" to number their properties.
