"That on the application of the owners of the property in Lower Easton Street the Council be recommended to change the name of that street to 'Orient Gardens' for the portion off the Cliftonville Road, and that the portion off Woodland Street be named Brookvale Street provided the cost of changing the street signs be paid by the owners of the property". (Minutes, 30 November 1898).
"Submitted letter, dated 19th inst., signed by Mr. Robert Spratt and nineteen other persons resident in Brookvale Street, requesting that the name of this street be changed to Brookvale Crescent or Brookvale Gardens. Resolved – That Mr. Spratt be informed that the Committee cannot agree to Brookvale Street being re-named Brookvale Gardens as it does not conform to the requirements for the name “Gardens”, but if the owners of property will submit an alternative name for the street, this Committee will be prepared to consider the matter". (25th June 1929).
"Adverting to this Committee's Minute of 25th ult. on the above mentioned subject submitted letter dated 17th inst, from Messrs. C. W. and M. S. Myers, requesting to be informed of the requirements of any thoroughfare for the name "Gardens", also requesting that Brookvale Street and the continuation thereof to Linden Gardens should be known as Brookvale Gardens. Resolved - That Messrs. Ayers be informed that it is required that a street shall have garden areas of a depth of at least 15' to warrant the name "Gardens" being applied to it, and the Committee cannot see their way to consider the name Brookvale Gardens; also that the name Brookvale Street applies to the street from Brookvale Drive to Linden Gardens. (23 July 1929).
"Submitted letter, dated 2nd inst., from Mr. C. W. Myers, requesting the Committee to reconsider their decision of 25th June last, declining to accede to the application that Brookvale Street be named Brookvale Gardens, or if the Committee cannot see their way to agree to the name Gardens, to such other name as they might approve of. Resolved – That Mr. Myers be informed the Committee cannot see their way to depart from their decision above referred to, viz., that as Brookvale Street does not conform to the requirements for the name Gardens they cannot accede to the application, but if the owners of property will submit an alternative name for the street, the Committee will be prepared to consider the matter". (6th August 1929).
