The motto is a combination of Staines' Ad Pontes Prospicimus ("At the Bridges we look forward") and Sunbury's Sol Et Paster Deus ("God is my Sun and my Shepherd") in the sentence Ad Solem Prospicimus. Literally "We look towards the Sun", the motto implies that "We face the dawn of a new civic era". | The motto is a combination of Staines' Ad Pontes Prospicimus ("At the Bridges we look forward") and Sunbury's Sol Et Paster Deus ("God is my Sun and my Shepherd") in the sentence Ad Solem Prospicimus.
