A newly constructed bridge in the Somerset region will be named after a long-term farming family.
The Lehmann family, who have farmed in the Minden area as early as the 1900s will have a bridge named after them.
At Somerset Regional Council’s meeting on Wednesday, mayor Graeme Lehmann disclosed a conflict of interest, and left the room for the meeting.
Deputy mayor Helen Brieschke said the mayor did not propose the name suggestion, and that it had been suggested by his extended family.
Director of Operations Craig Young told councillors that Neuendorf Road at Minden had been realigned and a new bridge had been built.
