THROWING DISCUSSION OPEN TO THE FLOOR

Brigg councillors rolled out the blue carpet, rather than the red one, at a meeting in the Angel Suite. Half-a-dozen carpet samples were laid out in the foyer so councillors could chose the two they preferred. The firms which supplied them will now be asked to submit quotes.
Replacement carpet in the foyer will be paid for by the council’s insurers, after the old one was damaged by flooding.
The carpet selection process – overseen by town clerk Jeanette Woollard and her assistant Alison Hannath – made a very unusual interlude in the monthly meeting of the property and services committee.
Even those of us who've been attending council meetings for donkey's years had never been involved in anything quite like this.
