New hood in Cape Town's Green Point Common

'Green Mile' has joined Little Camissa, The Loop, The Foundry and Downtown as names given to Cape Town's unique neighbourhoods through the initiative. Following a two-week voting period, after 90 submissions and a number of votes, 'Green Mile' was decided as the name for Neighbourhood 5.

Colourful history

Nic Lamond and Bruce Good, organisers of the campaign said, "Throughout history, Green Point has been associated with the Green Point Common. This is a very suitable name for this hood, which today continues its colourful history with the presence of the Cape Town Stadium, the Green Point Urban Park and the Biodiversity Gardens."

The next hood open for name submissions is Hood 6, the area between Kloof Nek Road, New Church Street, Orange Street and Camp Street. It is open for submissions until Tuesday 15 November 2011, after which a shortlist of the best names and motivations will go to a public vote. The winning name for Hood 6 will be announced on 26 November.
