FIRST POST

When our main shopping area was pedestrianised, Brigg Town Council made a cash contribution to what local government folk now called 'street furniture', with North Lincolnshire Council arranging and seeing through the extensive project.
Now, however, fancy lamp-posts (part of the 'street furniture') are carrying signs advertising job vacancies for forklift truck drivers.
The small posters don't look officially sanctioned. But the company concerned clearly thinks Brigg town centre is a good place to advertise. So maybe this is a potential 'revenue stream' open to either of the councils.
Firms might be willing to pay a fair price to literally post their jobs, not on the internet but on our lamp-posts.
The money could go to Brigg Town Mayor's Coun Mike Campion's charity appeal fund - or, in the case of North Lincolnshire, to that being organised during his year of office by first citizen Coun Jawaid Ishaq.
