Proposed Street Names for the Land at Top Wighay Farm, Wighay Road, Linby

The names chosen have a local connection and are taken from either from the local legend that the pancake was invented by the women of Linby village to celebrate the defeat of Danish invaders (Pancake Way and Denmark Road) or from the names of miners who lost their lives at Linby Colliery during its operation between 1871 and 1988.
It is considered that the proposed names comply with the Council’s Street Naming and Numbering Policy which states that ‘ 1.5 It is desirable that any suggested road name should have some connection with the area.’
