Luton students win bin lorry naming competition with ‘Lord of the Onion Rings’ entry
Students at a school in Luton are celebrating after winning a competition to name a council bin lorry.
A Year 11 form group from Stopsley High School, part of the Middlesex Learning Trust, chose a J.R.R Tolkien inspired name – with crispy twist for their entry.
The students won with ‘Lord of the Onion Rings’ and will soon be able to see the lorry during its rounds around the town.
Mr Rowles, assistant headteacher, said: "We are incredibly proud that our Year 11 students won this competition. 'Lord of the Onion Rings' is a brilliant name that shows the creativity and sense of humour of our students. The win is particularly meaningful because it links so well with the environmental work we have been carrying out throughout the year.
"Our students have shown real commitment to keeping our local area clean through litter-picking activities and environmental projects with Stopsley Primary School."
