Just an important reminder: Monday night sees Brigg Town Council's monthly meeting at the Angel Suite, when the major item discussed will be the proposed Brigg biomass power station at Scawby Brook, officially known as the Brigg Renewable Energy Plant.
The debate should get under way about 8pm - after the council's routine business has been concluded. Members of the public are welcome to attend, and will be allowed to speak and ask questions.
It remains to be seen whether North Lincolnshire Council (the planning authority) and Eco2 (the firm behind the plant) accept invitations to attend. Hopefully they will be represented.
Brigg households have been sent copies of EcoNews - a four-page information sheet giving the facts about the plant 'which hopes to introduce a new era of energy generation to your area'.
The newsletter says: "As a company, we believe in being transparent and answering any questions local residents may have about the project in a direct and open way."
The main objections from residents, particularly in Scawby Brook, refer to the lorry traffic involved in delivering to, and returning from, the plant, and the straw which might blow about. It is also being suggested the mini-roundabout near Fountain House, on Scawby Road, will be difficult to negotiate for lorries approaching from Castlethorpe Corner and having to turn right into Scawby Brook.
North Lincolnshire Council has yet to make a decision on the planning application.
Remember to keep in touch with the very latest on this issue via the Scunthorpe Telegraph, www.thisisbrigg.co.uk and Brigg Blog.
There's been a very surprising, and interesting, development, which we will be revealing shortly.
