MANY POSITIVES

Having spoken to a member of Brigg District Lions, Coun Tom Glossop (pictured) is hopeful there WILL be a firework display at the recreation ground next November.
He relayed the information to last night's monthly Town Council meeting in the Angel Suite.
An update was given on the 3Bs youth project, prompting Coun Ann Eardley to say some local people, including herself, had noted a general improvement in the overall behaviour of a number of young people in the area since the scheme's introduction.
The agenda item about donating the cost of a gate for refurbished Woodbine Park, off South View Avenue, had to be postponed as important information from North Lincolnshire Council was only received just prior the meeting. The town's property and services committee will now deal with the matter.
A letter of appreciation has been sent to retiring councillor Neil Taylor, who tendered his resignation last month. His seat, and two others, remain vacant, with more information expected on those in the new year.
No members of the public were there to exercise their democratic right to raise issues of interest/concern prior to the council meeting. And for the second successive "full council" meeting no representatives had issues to raise under the heading Police Matters, which can only suggest the Boys (and Girls) in Blue at our local station are doing a very satisfactory job, as this section of the monthly meeting used to generate quite a few comments about crime incidents and issues unresolved.
Keep watching Brigg Blog for a report on the planning and environment committee meeting (also held last night at the Angel) which saw councillors raise a number of concerns over applications in the North Lincolnshire pipeline.

  1. The problem with Brigg is that no-one really knows what's going on.
    Apart from a Brigg TC notice board in a secret corner and the odd mention of a meeting in the local rag....
    I see now that the Tourist Info Centre is allowing 'non-NLC' posters to be displayed...which is good, but.....
    Where is the public notice board? I bet the Tourist Info Centre couldn't give a visitor the contact number for the local scouts; the next meeting of the flower arranging group or the opening hours of the senior citizens' Pop-In cafe.
    Why are people seemingly kept in the dark about what's happening in Brigg?
