Winning names will appear on the trucks

Judges will choose eight top names, as well as runners-up for two vehicles due to join the fleet later. Winners will see their chosen names displayed on the truck livery and have their picture taken with the vehicles at a special presentation day.

Adur cabinet member for environment Andrew Harvey said he was looking forward to reading the entries. Worthing cabinet member for environment Martin McCabe said children often come up with more imaginative names than adults.
