Role of the Toponymy Committee

The main function of the Toponymy Committee, at the express request of the Town Council or the municipal administration, is to give its opinion on any question relating to the designation, modification, correction or replacement of existing place names in Sutton, for roads and streets as well as for municipal buildings and parks, and to make any other recommendation to the Town Council concerning toponymy for the Town.
