WHAT do you call a road rolling machine with no name?

According 11-year-old Abbey Manning, there was no contest, it had to be "Roller Around."

And the new moniker for the yellow giant, won her the the chance to name it in person when she was chosen as the winner of a competition organised by Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park.

Staff at the Park wanted to involve the community when work started on the flagship Next store so asked local schools to come up with a title for the roller.

After hundreds of entries were whittled down, Abbey's colourful design was chosen by judges.

Abbey, who attended a presentation at the site of the new store with her parents Jeni and Paul Manning, grandparents Robert and May, and seven-year-old sister Holly, said: “I am really happy to win because I had no idea that I was going to.

“I designed it because I really like rainbows and wanted to make it really colourful so that helped me when I was thinking of what I could do."

Abbey, who has just finished at Chorley New Road School and will attend St Joseph’s RC High School next term, said that everyone in the school sent in designs with the winner announced in assembly.

Abbey’s winning design and name has been printed on the roller, and she was awarded £100 worth of vouchers to spent at Next.

She added: “I want to spend my prize money on some clothes and jewellery but want to buy something for my family as well.”

Her mum said: “The family are all very proud of Abbey for putting in the time and effort in her design.

The 'name the roller' competition was launched with the help of Considerate Constructors Scheme mascot, Max.

The scheme was founded by the construction industry in 1997 to improve its image.

During the build, which is due to finish in November, youngsters from across Horwich will learn about the dangers of building sites through to the careers available in the construction — as well as being kept informed of the progress of the development.

Heather Crank-Ingham, marketing and PR manager at Middlebrook, said: “The idea was to get the community involved through the Considerate Constructors Scheme. The competition was sent out all schools in Horwich who were given an image of the roller and asked to design the top of it and to think of a name for it.

“We had hundreds of entries before we whittled it down to a few and deciding on our winner. We are really pleased with the number of entries. The winner was chosen because the name was fantastic.”
