ON THE ROAD TO NOWHERE


In many eyes - certainly at Brigg Town Council - it is a shame the temporary entrance road to the Foxton Way housing development has been removed and the land restored to agriculture, in keeping with the terms of the planning permission.
Some still strongly believe a permanent road, running from Horstead Avenue to Wrawby Road (near to where it meets Churchill Avenue) would reduce a great deal of congestion on the Springbank estate, where the only vehicular access currently comes via Grammar School Road.
North Lincolnshire Council, despite strong pressure from within Brigg, does not agree.
However, in that authority's new blueprint for future housing development (now progressing through various review stages) it is suggested the farmer's field next to the recreation ground (to the left of this picture) could be built on.
And that just might make the Springbank relief road option a more viable one, as it would no longer be jutting out into open countryside.
