Ledbury Town Council Launches Competition to Name Its Weed-Busting Machine

Ledbury Town Council is inviting residents to get creative and help name the Council’s foam steam w**d treatment machine.

The machine is used to help tackle w**ds around the town in an environmentally friendly way and the Council thought it would be fun to give it a name chosen by the community.

Residents are encouraged to submit their funniest, cleverest and most creative ideas by emailing [email protected] by Thursday 4 June 2026.

A shortlist of names will then be selected and put to a public vote at Ledbury Community Day on Saturday 6 June 2026, where residents will be able to choose the winning name.

The Council is hoping for plenty of imaginative and wacky suggestions from the community, with entries open to all ages.

For clarity, the machine is an eco-friendly w**d control system which uses hot water and foam to remove w**ds without the use of chemical w**dkillers.
