CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR SAY

The rear entrance to the Angel Suite - the one in use for the public meeting on March 28.


Brigg residents have the chance to go along to the Annual Town Meeting and raise any burning issues or topics they wish.
It will be held on Monday, March 28 in the Angel Suite (7.30pm).
The Town Council says: “This is your opportunity to share your views and opinions. Feel free to raise any issues that you are unhappy – or even happy – about.”
The Town Council also advises: “Don’t waste it!” – meaning the opportunity to voice your views.
Sadly, these meetings never attract the number of people they deserve.
Townsfolk can be heard from time to time, grumbling away in pubs, shops and on Brigg streets about what they want to see happening, or even not happening, within the town.
But very few people come forward to have their say at the Annual Town Meeting.
This is a forum parish and town councils across the UK are required to organise and host at least every 12 months.
Brigg’s Annual Town Meeting generally includes a report on work and projects undertaken by the Town Council, usually delivered by the Town Mayor.
A North Lincolnshire Council review is also expected from one, or more, of the Brigg area’s representatives - Couns Nigel and Carl Sherwood and Coun John Berry.
There could also be a report on public footpaths in and around the town from our Voluntary Footpath Warden.
If you are planning to go along to the Annual Town Meeting, please note that entry to the Angel Suite at night is through the Rotunda (conservatory-like building) at the rear of the premises and not through the main glass doors off the Market Place.
See you there?

....in the meantime, John quiety remebers that the curried chicken gives him wind and is now considering the cod and chips with mushy pies.
