BUS REQUEST REJECTED

Brigg Town Council has decided not to give cash to the Council in Winterton to help with the cost of running a bus into Brigg on Thursdays.
Although noting that would mean more business for shops in the town, Brigg Councillors did not feel the benefit was sufficient.
Coun Jenny Bell said: "We could spent our money on other things for Brigg people."
She said they should tell Winterton "not this year, as our budget is tight" but suggest another application along similar lines in December, to be considered ahead of the 2011/12 financial year.
Coun Julian Kidd thought any bus project of this type should be run as a partnership between Winterton and Brigg Town Councils. "If we give money we should have more say," he added.
