William Sweepspeare and Obi-Wan Cleanobi are among the names of Warwick District Council's new fleet of street sweeper vehicles.

Five new sweepers have been named after the council received over 650 suggestions during a naming challenge last summer.

Each sweeper has also been decorated to match its new name.

The chosen names were:

• William Sweepspeare
• Obi-Wan Cleanobi
• Sweepersaurus Rex
• Sweep Caroline
• Little Bo Sweep

"We had some fantastic and very inventive suggestions, and I would like to thank everyone that took the time to submit their ideas to us," said Cllr Alan Rhead.

"It was a tough one to judge, but we feel we've chosen the best of the names we received, including a local connection and a couple of fun names for young people. I look forward to seeing them out and about across the district, on the roads and in local parks keeping our spaces clean."

The sweeper vehicles are responsible for keeping the road network across the 110 square miles of Warwick District clean and clear of litter and other debris.

The sweeper vehicles sweep up around 3,000 tonnes of litter and debris every year.

This all gets sent to a specialist facility in Coleshill which sorts it into fractions such as sand, aggregates, metals and organic waste for recycling.

It also reclaims the water at the end of the process to use in the system again.
