Help us name the new Rickmansworth Aquadrome pedestrian bridge

Three Rivers District Council is asking residents and visitors for their comments on each of the five names shortlisted below. The council is interested in hearing your thoughts on the names to gather feedback before a final decision is made later this year.

The proposed names are:

Ann Shaw Bridge

Aquadrome Bridge

Colne View Bridge

Ebury Bridge

Harry Walker Bridge

Residents and visitors have until Friday 28 March to share their comments on the proposed names via the Have Your Say platform. Information on the names can be found on the consultation page.

Emma Sheridan, Associate Director for Environment, said: “It is only fitting to have a name for the new bridge that best reflects the character and heritage of the Rickmansworth Aquadrome – and we want your input.

“New bridges don’t come very often, so please have your say today. I would also like to thank the Three Rivers Museum for their assistance on the information presented.”

A new bridge, funded largely by developer contributions, will be 48.6m in length and 3m wide – double in width than the old bridge to allow pedestrians, wheelchairs, buggies and cyclists to pass each other safely and encourage sustainable travel. It will have a deep red look, and the surrounding area will be attractively landscaped to provide a great view of Batchworth Lake.
