The new road at the eng of Lime Grove Gardens is to be called Rennie Close.
Bathwick’s Lib Dem councillors ran a competition to suggest a name for the new cul-de-sac. Ideas included Linden or Tilia to recognise Lime Grove, Brunel for the railway and Martin for the birds which fly over the area.
The winning entry, from a number of sources, recognises John Rennie, the builder of the Kennet and Avon canal below which the close rests.
Thank you to all those who entered the competition and for providing the name.
