Bartholomew Villas / Road

Reported via desktop in the Street Name Plates category anonymously at 09:39, Tue 4 March 2025

Sent to Camden Borough Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7222183.

Hi I've reported this issue before but I don't think anything's happened, or it's not got to the right desk. As you turn west from Kentish Town Road onto Bartholomew Road, there is indeed a sign on St Andrew's Church which says 'Bartholomew Road'. However, there are no houses on the stretch of this road (before the bend and the traffic calming barrier) with a Bartholomew Road address. The only house in this area is my house - 2 Bartholomew Villas (I am in flat b which is the raised first floor). This problem is that the health centre is 2 Bartholomew Road. But that is very confusing due to the street name plate. I am constantly being visited by confused and distressed patients looking for the health centre thinkning (because they've seen the Bartholomew Road sign) that they are at the the health centre. I have to direct them around the corner. I don't know what happens to patients when I am not at home but I imagine this does cause some distress. This is especially confusing and hard work for people who've struggled up the 8 steps to my door looking for the physical therapy department, who then have to navigate back down the steps and around the corner. May i suggest that the sign on the church is changed to read 'Bartholomew Villas leading to Bartholomew Road'? This would be both accurate and would help multiple patients every day.
