BE WARNED

Work on laying power cables along the middle of Glebe Road starts tomorrow (Tuesday) and could take more than a week.
As this is not only a main route across town but also one of our most congested streets, it's not good news.
Yes, the work is essential to maintain efficient supplies to households.
But as Glebe Road has many terraced homes - without garages - there's nowhere for residents to park their cars, other than on the street.
Also, North Lincolnshire Council installed traffic humps and traffic islands along Glebe Road when there was severe congestion due to parents dropping children off at the school and picking them up. And despite the new primary school being built on Atherton Way and the Glebe Road facility closing down, the council has continued to keep the 'traffic calming measures' in place.
Extensive roadworks on Glebe Road are certainly not good news for businesses like the general store (opposite the old school site) and the chip shop.
The contractors have carried out work on a number of other Brigg streets as part of this project, but Glebe Road has particular problems, notably the lack of a viable alternative route for many drivers...without lengthy detours.
You have been warned!
