Rename the New Renfrew Bridge to Limmy Bridge

Rename the New Renfrew Bridge to Limmy Bridge

The Issue

Back in the day, Yoker was just another area that most folks in Glasgow might pass by without much thought. But thanks to the legendary Brian Limond, affectionately known as Limmy, Yoker has become something of a landmark. Limmy's humor, creativity, and unique take on life have undeniably thrust Yoker into the spotlight. As a result, it's only fitting that we honor his contribution by naming the new Renfrew bridge—the structure set to unite the banks of the River Clyde—the Limmy Bridge.

The new bridge between Renfrew and Yoker is a massive infrastructure project, aiming to connect communities and enhance business and social interaction across the river. However, simply naming it the "Renfrew Bridge" seems impersonal and lacks the unique charm that Yoker, and indeed Glasgow, embodies. Naming the bridge after Limmy not only acknowledges his role in making Yoker a must-visit spot on the Glasgow map but also adds a personal and quirky touch that reflects the spirit of our community.

Yoker has never had a direct bridge connection, and this project represents the first opportunity for Renfrew's residents to seamlessly venture into Yoker. What better way to encourage this newfound unity than by celebrating a local icon? Naming the bridge after Limmy will serve as a reminder of the laughter and prestige he's brought to the area.

Let's come together and persuade Glasgow City Council to give the new Renfrew bridge a name that holds real significance for the people of Yoker and beyond. Sign this petition to support naming the bridge the Limmy Bridge and ensure that Limmy's legacy is cemented in our city's landscape for generations to come. Join us in this effort to make a lasting tribute to a figure who has humorously immortalized our local area.
