Bridge will be officially named

An event will be held to officially name the Spike Milligan Bridge, according to council staff.

Cr Chris Holstein had asked on November 27 whether council had taken any action in placing appropriate signage on the Spike Milligan Bridge.

Cr Holstein asked if the family of Spike Milligan had been advised of the naming and if so, whether they had been invited to any event.

Council's director of city services Mr Stephen Glen said that there was currently no signage or plaques in place on the bridge, and no invitation had gone out to the Milligan family.

"Council officers are currently planning for an event to mark the occasion and will be liaising with the Milligan family during this planning phase," Mr Glen said.
