Last street due for conference (9)
I believe the answer is:
bestowing
'last street due for conference' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'due for conference' is the wordplay.
'due' becomes 'owing' (similar in meaning).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'conference' becomes 'best' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'owing' put after 'best' is 'BESTOWING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
