The Isle of Wight Council have launched a competition to name the brand new floating bridge, which is due to arrive in Cowes within weeks.
‘Floating Bridge Number 6’ is the registered name of the vessel, but the Council are asking Islanders if they think they can do a better job of naming her.
Entries of name suggestions are being welcomed via the Isle of Wight Council’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/isleofwightcouncil/photos/a.157742457614660.44281.144577995597773/1278452815543613/?type=3&theater.
Islanders have until 12 noon on 7th April to submit their name suggestions by simply commenting on the pinned post.
Once collated, the best 6 suggestions will be put to the public vote, again, via the Council’s Facebook page; with the winner to be announced on 21st April.
Unfortunately, it is said that the boat will not be named ‘Floaty McFloatface’.
