LET'S HAVE A NEW SHOP

How about a 'corner shop' being included in future housing development on York Road 'field' in Brigg?
On Wednesday and Thursday - in the Angel Suite - planning authority North Lincolnshire Council gave townspeople the chance to see the eight areas of land on which housing developments might eventually be encouraged. This list is likely to be whittled down further - and no firm decisions have been reached. We hope to receive an update in August/September.
Returning to York Road, a shop would prove very useful to the many households on the surrounding housing estate. Think of the time saved, and the reduction in 'carbon footprint, if we could walk a street or two, without taking the car into the centre of the Brigg, as many now do, to buy a paper or a pinta.
It would be especially handy for the many senior citizens living in this part of town, would cut down the amount of traffic on estate roads, and help combat the hold-ups often encountered at the junction between St Helen's Road and the the A1084 (Bigby Road).
