I worked at the council depot in Bellfield at the time they renamed that section. I'm quite sure the people who live there are going to be very insistent that it is definietly not Heidelberg West. Sort of like a teenager trying to pretend they aren't related to their parents because they're embarrassing.

Just like I heard people who live in Preston south of Bell St wanted it renamed Preston South with its own postcode
