Town councillors, who oversee management of the allotments, have a specialist firm they can call in to get rid of rats, if there's evidence of any about near the plots. But Town Clerk Jeanette Woollard explained moles were not classed as vermin.
NF adds: We used to get problems with moles, from time to time, at the Brigg Sugar Factory sportsground, when Brigg Town Cricket Club's first team played there. The mounds of earth they pushed up to the surface became a bit of an issue on the outfield, but I can't recall that the closely-cut "square" was affected at any time. These days, of course, the old factory sportsground, just over the border into Scawby Brook, is abandoned and unused, together with the clubhouse. So the moles can have the place all to themselves, if they wish.

What a terrible waste of facilities, sports grounds (is the bowling green still there?)
The bowling green is there but is very overgrown , as are the tennis courts , the old cricket square and the club house.
Why the leisure centre can't purchase the land and put it to good use is beyond me.
