Causeway Coast and Glens councillors voted to retain the council's 2015 street naming and property numbering policy during an April Environmental Services Committee meeting. The policy requires petitions from at least one-third of occupiers to start a process and support from two-thirds of those on the electoral register to approve it. Non-responses count as opposition, and reapplication is barred for five years.

No applications have succeeded since 2015, when the council adopted the policy. An officers' report noted changes in legislation, including the Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Act 2022 and the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. The report recommended reviewing the policy to align with these laws and reduce legal risks.

Sinn Féin councillor Maighréad Watson supported Option 3, which would lower the threshold to 15 percent support with responses only counted and a one-year reapplication period set by members. She stated the high thresholds deterred applications and dual language signs promote equality without replacing English.

DUP Alderman Mark Fielding backed retaining the policy, calling it democratic and warning lower thresholds could override majority wishes and strain resources. Sinn Féin councillor Sean Bateson also favoured Option 3, saying the policy creates barriers contrary to requirements to promote minority languages.

SDLP councillor Michael Coyle supported Option 3. DUP councillor Daryl Wilson questioned a review request from 50 residents, noting it represented 0.033 percent of the borough population. UUP councillor Richard Holmes and Alliance councillor Lee Kane opposed major changes; Kane recommended Option 2, requiring 50 percent support from responses.

The vote deadlocked at eight for retention and eight against. Committee chair DUP Alderman Sharon McKillop cast the deciding vote to keep the policy.

At the same meeting, members agreed to appoint a Climate Change Champion using a rolling D’Hondt list. The role involves advocating for climate action, linking elected members and officers, supporting the Climate Change Action Strategy, and promoting awareness in the borough. Council officers will support the strategic position.
