Most people are glad

I refer to the letter by Debra Wales in your issue of July 9 and her comment that the residents of the Peninsula are going to be stuck with the embarrassment of the Spike Milligan name for years to come.

Not only is this insulting to the Milligan family but also to the 346 Peninsular residents and voters who signed petitions requesting the bridge to be named the Spike Milligan Bridge.

The decision is made and I'm sure that most people are glad that Spike has won the day.

The thing is now to look for the benefits that may be derived from the naming and how Woy can lift itself above the affectionate reputation of being the "above-ground cemetery".
