If someone has carefully surveyed the name as signposted I leave that intact. branch is not mandatory but helpful since consumers can choose how they want to format the such as "Narooma", "Narooma RFS", "Narooma Rural Fire Brigade", etc. especially when combined with operator. The whole point was to be neutral on the exact name format and not engage in a mass edit to reformat them to be the same, but instead respect names will look different based on signage.
