Pixie Lane?

An idea has been put forward to have a road named after Pixie in her home town of Brentwood and the local Gazette have now picked up on the idea to give it some media coverage. It would be brilliant for Pixie to have such a landmark so we need to do our best to push for the council to consider the idea seriously. There are many ways that we can do this. Firstly, you can vote for Pixie Lane on the paper’s website here, e-mail the paper at editorial@gazettenews.co.uk, call 01245 603337 or write to their offices at Brentwood Gazette, Media Centre, Westway, Chelmsford, Essex CM1 3BE. You can also Tweet them @Gazetteseries by writing Pixie Lane, followed by #brentwoodcelebs. The idea was first muted by our own crazycat Mike who mentioned the following. Please do your best to be active in this and we may see the launch of Pixie Lane very soon!

The idea to name streets after famous residents came from Mike Faulkner, a fan of Brentwood songbird Pixie Lott. Mike, 41, told the Gazette why he thought she was worthy of such an honour.
“She has come from nowhere, she writes her own songs and hasn’t done Pop Idol,” he said. Mike, who lives in Rainham and works as a car delivery driver, has seen Pixie Lott twice in concert, including at the Brentwood Centre in November.
He also has a suggestion for a road name to honour her achievements.
“Someone suggested a car park called Pixie Lot but that’s just taking the mick,” he said. “I think Pixie Lane sounds good.”
What do you think? Get in touch with the news desk and let us know.
Although there are currently no streets named after modern-day celebrities in Brentwood, there are some which bear the names of high-profile people from the town’s history. William Hunter Way is an example.
