Proposing a new street name

When a new street is added in our village, the municipality initiates a procedure for a street name. If you have a good idea for a new street name, you can submit a proposal.

How does it work?

Do you have a great suggestion for a new street name? However, there are a few rules that names must meet:

1. The name is clear, easy to pronounce, and not too long.

2. The name does not resemble already existing names.

3. The name fits the surroundings. DENK about the surrounding spaces and/or the history of the surrounding area.

4. The name does not refer to a company, unless the company has played a special role in the history or tradition of Voorschoten.

5. Does the name refer to a person? If so, this person must have been deceased for at least 10 years and must have been born in Voorschoten, or at least have lived in Voorschoten.

6. Members of the Royal House may be appointed during their lifetime.
