MORE WORK IN PIPELINE

The firm replacing gas pipes in the St Helen's Road/Churchill Avenue area of Brigg is still hard at work - and hasn't done a bad job.
Workers have given householders due notice and done their best to make good the holes they have dug in paths, roads and drives.
Yes, they might have hosed down the streets afterwards, and ours looked for a time like it had had a brush with the Sahara!
Yes, there has been disruption to traffic (particularly along St Helen's Road) with a one-way system employed, controlled by lights.
But, overall, not too disruptive for most of us, as the old pipework needed replacing.
It would have been better done during the summer months, when gas central heating being switched off for the day would not have been an issue. But then, if work had been carried out in the summer, householders would have had to contend with the prospect of wet tar (used to repair paths) being trampled into their homes on shoes.
We understand the gas pipe contractors are to move to another area of Brigg, in due course. But they are not 'doing' the whole town.
We haven't had that officially. For the gas people, unlike their counterparts in the electrical world, have not been as open, or forward looking, on the PR front.
CE, the power people, gave Brigg Town Council full notice of their plans to replace wiring in many of our streets last year - even sending a small team to a public meeting, with councillors present, to explain their timetable and answer any concerns.
Can't remember any of that happening with the current gas contract?
