What's in a name?
Place-making is an in-exact science. Would it have been better to wait for a preferred name to emerge by community consensus?
Ashford M20 footbridge named as the Eureka Skyway
"the judges selected Eureka Skyway – one of no less than 76 names
put forward by sports journalist Neil Wolfson – feeling the name
was striking, modern and easily recognisable."

The comments under this item continue to snipe at the cost - and the need.
I am sure they missed a trick by not making the bridge a big A-shape. Instead, it's a lop-sided V-shape. It's a V-sign from or to Ashford. Which?
