Reverse naming decision

In reference to "Rename bridge, says Andrews" (Peninsula News, 6 Aug 2007) as a resident of the Peninsula I would welcome a reversal of Gosford Council's decision.

Yes, the Spike Milligan Room at Woy Woy Library is sufficient tribute to the late English comedian.

Of the 35,000 plus residents of the Peninsula, surely the 346 signatures collected by Rod Fountain of Erina cannot possibly be viewed as a fair and representative percentage of those in favour of naming the bridge after Spike Milligan.

By the removal of any person's name, whether living or dead, from this structure, no one can be snubbed or overlooked.

I would suggest Rod Fountain take up a "cause" in his own backyard, and leave the Peninsula residents to sort this out themselves.
