The first public discussion of a scheme aimed at installing the first wind turbine in Brigg will take place on Monday.
A 15kw wind turbine - on a 25m high mast - is proposed together with the erection of industrial units on land at Europa Way, off Atherton Way. Brigg Town Council's Planning and environment committee will consider the application on Monday when it meets at the Angel Suite (6.45pm). This meeting is open to the public as observers.
Town councillors do not have the power to determine planning applications but they can make their views known to North Lincolnshire Council before the unitary authority decides whether or not to give the go-ahead.

Historically, you're incorrect, Old Nige.
By definition a 'tubine' is something that converts kinetic energy of a moving fluid (in the sense of gas, or fluid) into mechanical energy.
Consequently, the 'first' turbine in Brigg was proabably the extant windmill down Mill Lane.....unless someone knows an earlier one.
Science Lesson- (someone could argue that a sailing boats's sails catching the wind and converting it into propolusion is a very simple form of a turbine - in the same basic sense that an inclined plane (wedge) is the simplest machine)
Personally, I fully support this modern wind turbine innovation.
