Don't name the new bridge after Rose Kennedy

I have great respect for the Kennedys and appreciate all that has been done in their name for our town. But I feel the Kennedys are already very well acknowledged by the town and the townspeople. My own preference is to name the bridge after the Marshalls, Isabel, who was the inspiration for the foundation of the town and for its location, in particular. There is no need to list their incredible contribution to the area - St Mary's, Tintern, Hook Lighthouse, Duiske, the first bridge, etc. Other than a mention in the Ros tapestry there is no tribute to them in the vicinity.

I think that there are many other people that this bridge could be named after. Put it to the people with a vote.

'Pink Rock Bridge' is very appropriate. It doesn't incorporate any name.

I agree, everything in town does not have to be something Kennedy. There are plenty more names out there
