A bright future for Brigg among all the economic gloom in the UK was forecast by the town’s first citizen in his annual report, which described it as a friendly and prosperous market town.
Coun Mike Campion (pictured) told the annual public meeting, held in the Angel Suite, the past year had been a good one for the town, which had faired much better than some others.
He pointed to several new businesses and relatively few closed shops.
The mayor said he was hopeful the Brigg summer fair could be revived this year by Brigg District Lions.
On the thorny topic of anti-social behaviour, Coun Campion said questions should be asked about not only about the youngsters concerned but also their parents.
He said the town council would continue to press for a great policing presence in Brigg and for the police station to be open for more hours.
Coun Nigel Sherwood, delivering his annual report on North Lincolnshire Council, said the past six months had been difficult. “The year ahead is going to be extremely challenging,” he added.
