As part of the Council’s 2016 pledge to honour our fallen, we have committed to naming new streets in Tameside after those that lost their lives while serving in the British Armed Forces.
We are asking you to nominate your Tameside hero.
The criteria for naming streets are:
- Nominated individuals must have lost their lives whilst serving in the Armed Forces.
- Nominated individuals must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Been born in Tameside
- Lived in Tameside for a period of at least 5 years
- Attended a Tameside academic institution
- Nominated individuals must have been a member of the British Armed Forces.
To nominate a fallen hero for street naming please provide us with some details by clicking on the button below. It will only take a few minutes to complete.
Please note:
It is at the discretion of the ‘Honour our Fallen Working Group’ to nominate, or receive and consider for nomination, relevant veterans who have a connection to Tameside but do not meet at least one of the criteria set out in the second bullet point above. The ‘Honour Our Fallen Working Group’ will use its discretion when prioritising which streets are named after which veterans, and the order in which veterans names are used for street names. Decisions of the ‘Honour our Fallen Working Group’ are final. To read more about our approach to this pledge please see the report to Executive Cabinet (Item 9).
The Council is working closely with our Tameside Armed Service Community (TASC) to support the delivery of the Armed Forces Covenant. Through TASC, we are building up a contact database to help create a support network, focus services and give our armed services community a voice.
