HAPPY NEW YEAR

The wet start to the new year and the fact some people partied a bit too much last night meant not many Brigg folk ventured very far this morning. But there were exceptions, even if some might find them a little sad for getting drenched in pursuit of their actitivies.
Like the anglers huddled under umbrellas on the Old River Ancholme, the group of ramblers walking in line through the town, people visiting the recycling bins at Tesco and Glanford Leisure Centre, and the canoeists on the New River Ancholme.
Tesco's can bank was full yet again this morning, meaning a trip to the one at the leisure centre, if you could be bothered.
New Year's Resolution to consider for North Lincolnshire Council: Have a serious look at recycling at Christmas and New Year. Clearly the size and frequency of emptying of the bins and boxes they issue to households, and the facilities at Tesco, are far below the level of waste people are willing to recycle.
And finally...Let's hope for a happy and very successful 2008 for our town and its growing number of residents, plus our business community.
