Cloverfield Street — street off Clara Street, BT5, East Belfast.
The name was approved by Belfast City Council on 3 October 2012, following an application by Apex Housing Association for the naming of a new street. The committee report records that the applicant advised “that the proposed name was in keeping with others within the area, including Elmgrove Primary School, Bloomfield and Willowfield churches,” and that neighbouring streets included Mayflower Street, Heatherbell Street and Flora Street.
The original proposal was for the name Cloverfield. Officers advised that, under the Council’s street-naming policy, “all new street names should end with suffix such as Avenue, Road or Street,” whereupon Apex Housing Association “indicated that it would be agreeable to the street name being amended to Cloverfield Street.”
The Committee accordingly agreed that the street be named Cloverfield Street.
