HECTIC PROGRAMME TONIGHT

You can enjoy the warmth of the Angel Suite tonight - and contribute your thoughts on how the town is run.
For the Annual Town Meeting is being held at 7.30pm. By law, town and parish councils must hold at least one of these each year, giving residents the opportunity to go along and ask questions and raise topics of interest.
Prior to that there will be a meeting of Brigg Town Council's planning and environment committee at 6.30pm, when among the items of interest will be an application relating to the new Wilkinson store in Cary Lane.
At 7pm the monthly meeting of the town council will get under way.
Hopefully it will finish promptly at 7.30pm - there is not too much on the agenda - so members of the public attending for the main event of the evening are not kept waiting.
However, 'Joe Public' is very welcome to sit and listen to the committee and full council meetings...if anyone fancies making a night of it.
Maybe there's not too much good stuff on the telly!
For those who might not be sure of the exact location of the Angel Suite, it's off Market Place. You can park in the Angel car park (off Elwes Street) or, if arriving on foot, walk down Exchange Place (alongside Hardy's bar).

Town clerk Jeanette Woollard (pictured above with Town Mayor Coun Michael Doherty) has kindly supplied the agenda for tonight's Annual Town meeting, which we are happy to publish on Brigg Blog.
