BE-SPOKE SOLUTION NEEDED?

Getting a new cycle route in Brigg is turning into a mini-crusade for town councillor Ben Nobbs.
Having persuaded Brigg Town Council to ask the North Lincolnshire highway authority to install the new route - and seen that rejected - Coun Nobbs tried a different approach.
He renewed his appeal for action during the road safety and highways section of the quarterly Brigg Neighbourhood Policing Panel meeting in the Angel Suite.
Coun Nobbs wants to see a cycle lane along Bridge Street, Ancholme Way Bridge and Atherton Way, down as far as the new primary school.
He thinks the footpath is wide enough to allow joint useage by pedestrians and cyclists, along the lines of that so successfully introduced along Wrawby Road by North Lincolnshire Council.
However, Pete Scott, head of safety roads at North Lincolnshire Council, suggested to Coun Nobbs that Bridge Street and Wrawby Road were not comparable, and stressed national criteria needed to be met.
A spoke in the wheel for Coun Nobbs? Somehow I can’t see him letting this subject drop.
