Each Town Council is required to hold an Annual Town Public Meeting, giving everyone within the community a chance to go along and have their say on any topic they choose to raise, and/or put questions to councillors.
Brigg's for 2010 will be on Monday, March 22 in the Angel Suite (off Market Place) at 7.30pm.
To view the full agenda in close-up, double-click the image above. You can print this to bring to the meeting with you - or pick up a printed copy up on the night, if you prefer.
Hoping people will support the meeting, Brigg Town Council says: "Don't waste it. This is your opportunity to share your views and opinions with both Town Councillors and fellow residents in the Open Forum. Feel free to raise any issues that you are unhappy – or even happy - about!"Items already on the agenda include:
Brigg Big Spring Clean/River Ancholme Development Project.
Renovation of the Brigg County Bridge.
Brigg Emergency Plan.
Reports on the past 12 months will be delivered by the Town Council (through Town Mayor Coun James Truepenny, pictured), a representative of North Lincolnshire Council (likely to be Coun John Berry), Brigg Footpath Warden Tony Parker, and the local policing team (headed by Insp Brett Rutty).
Brigg's Annual Town Meetings never seem to attract the attendances they should. Hopefully this year's will prove an exception, especially with events like County Bridge renovation on the agenda.
Those who grumble on Brigg Streets about the way things operate have a golden opportunity here to gain a wider audience for their views.
If you are going along on Monday it's important to note pedestrian access to the Angel Suite is gained from the Market Place, along Exchange Place - NOT through the glass doors at the front of the building, which may well be locked at this time of night. For those coming by car, use Elwes Street/Cadney Road; there is plenty of parking available behind the Angel.
Rest assured, if you can't make it the press will be out in force to bring you the news - not just Brigg Blog but the local papers, too. There will be plenty of interest to report.
We hope to see you there!
Putting my serious Wrawby hat on..and being the Devil's Advocate, isn't the Council doing things base over apex in connection with items 7 and 8 on the agenda?
ReplyDeleteItem 7 - Renovation of County Bridge
Item 8 - Draw Up Community Plan
How is '7' separate to '8' and takes priority?
My understanding is that the the Council hope to involve the general public (Item 8) in developing priorities, or an action plan for improving Brigg's environs.
Treating the County Bridge as a separate issue defeats the objective!
