IS SOMETHING BIG ON THE WAY?

All this prolonged activity near the Lidl and Tesco stores - theodolites on tripods, monitoring equipment, technical experts milling about - suggests something big might be coming our way very soon, in terms of a big news story.
Many of us have observed what's going on with growing interest and are busy trying to make two and two add up to four.
Brigg Blog follower Ken Harrison, who describes himself as a renowned nosey person, tried to get one of the chaps on the ground to give us a clue. "He was a bit cagey when I asked him what was going on. He kept repeating, 'It'll come out eventually'." says Ken.
Ken adds: "It may be speculative, but the combined evidence does indicate significant moves afoot."
If that line of thought proves correct, we should all keep our eyes on the excellent North Lincolnshire Council planning website, where developments generally get their first airing in the public domain.
Which reminds me of some journalistic detective work a few years ago which came to an amusing but very successful conclusion. There were many rumours doing the rounds about a major retail firm moving into Brigg, centred on the former Kwik Save store in Cary Lane.
Everyone stayed tight-lipped and even the planning application, when eventually posted late one Friday on the North Lincs website, did not reveal the company's identity in the accompanying blurb.
However, it you took the trouble to view the drawings there was one for a sign planned for the front of the premises, which contained the letters W I L K I N S O N
That still makes me smile!

PS: Nothing on the council's planning website today.
