Children across Fylde are being encouraged to get creative this Easter as part of a fun new competition to name the council’s latest fleet of bin wagons.
Six new refuse collection vehicles and two compact sweepers are joining Fylde Council’s waste services fleet as part of the local authority’s programme to renew its road vehicles.
The council operates around 80 vehicles in total on a rolling 10-year replacement programme.
The local authority is inviting young residents to come up with imaginative and quirky names for each one. As part of the initiative, the children can download a special colouring sheet, decorate it, and submit their suggested name alongside their artwork.
Entries will be judged by the council, with the eight winning names chosen to appear on the real vehicles once they are in operation.
Cllr Michelle Morris, Lead Member for Customer and Operational Services, said: ‘This is such a fun way to get our younger residents involved in the services that keep Fylde looking its best. I can’t wait to see the names children come up with – and I have a feeling we’re going to be seeing some very creative suggestions out on our streets very soon!’
