Vectis-Zephyrus


We have had an e-mail last week informing us that a competition is currently underway to name the Wind Park proposed south of Milford on Sea. Last year Eneco held exhibitions in the area to present their proposals on the project.

The naming competition is now gathering pace, and one of our own has made the shortlist. David Godfroy’s suggestion was ‘Vectis-Zephyrus’. He idea is based on the Roman name for the area which was ‘Vectis’ and ‘Zephyrus’ was the Roman name for west wind. (Clever eh!) There are other names on the shortlist such as: Knollsea, Jurassic Coast, Wessex Array, Wight Wind, Jurassic Array, Solent Breeze, Navitus Bay, Jurassic Future, Wind Needles.

My own suggestion of ‘Eyesore’ or ‘One Good Turn Deserves Another’ for some reason did not make the shortlist.

If you would like to support David’s suggested name you can vote by advising your preference by email at namethewindpark@mistral-pr.co.uk or using Freephone 0800 848 8464
