Dear Editor
I am hoping this might be a 'runner'.
Street names of Rye. Many of these are self-explanatory. However I would be grateful if readers could tell me the origins of other streets. I cite by way of example - Marley Road, Cooper Road, Ferring Close and Henley Close.
Who decides on the names of roads? If there is a new development why not get residents of Rye to put forward name of people who have made a significant contribution to Rye.

[Editor's note : This certainly seemed to happen in the last big development in Rye - Valley Park - as I live in Benson Way which leads to Vidler Square and the other street names are all very familiar]
