“Meryl Sweep’ has appeared around Warminster after residents helped name Warminster Town Council’s new sweeper.
Warminster Town Council upgraded to a new Scarab 7.5-tonne road sweeper and asked residents to submit suggestions for its new name. Three names made the final three shortlist “Meryl Sweep’, Obi-Wan Cleanobi’ and “Sweep Caroline’ before a final vote.
After hundreds of votes were cast, “Meryl Sweep’ swept to victory with more than 47% of the votes. The new name is now proudly displayed on the new vehicle and was recently pictured working away in the Lake Pleasure Grounds.
Warminster Town Council remains committed to keeping the town clean, tidy and welcoming for both residents and visitors.
