ORDER! ORDER!


Members’ question time at Brigg Town Council is not quite on a par with the lively exchanges in the House of Commons, but it does meet a similar purpose – to give ordinary members the chance to raise issues of importance to them.
At the council’s latest monthly meeting in the Angel Suite, Coun Julian Kidd (pictured) kicked things off with reference to advertising boards obstructing footpaths.
Coun Ann Eardley then expressed her concerns about motorists churning up grass verges on the Newlands estate, the number of vans and cars parked on them, and the poor state of roadside kerbs.
Town Mayor Coun Mike Campion described parking on grass as ‘a horrible habit’.
Coun Ben Nobbs echoed Coun Eardley’s views about Newlands, saying land at the bottom of Elm Way had been turned into ‘a pig sty’.
These issues will be drawn to the attention of North Lincolnshire Council, which is responsible for roads and footpaths in Brigg.
