Ash: New bridge name announced after public nominations

A road bridge in Surrey has been given a new name, after the public was allowed to submit suggestions.

Guildford Borough Council (GBC) launched a competition to find a name for the structure in Ash in June and it has now been announced that the bridge will be called Chester Bridge.

The name refers to the Chester Arms pub which was based near the station and was named after the Chester family who lived nearby in Poyle Park.

All entries were considered by a panel of judges, including a local school principal, a local historian and the curator of the Ash Museum.
