MODERN ART BY THE ANCHOLME?

Some modern art, including unmade beds, can fetch tidy sums. Brigg Blog spotted this collection of wood and fabric not far from the Old River Ancholme towpath and wondered whether any of our followers with an eye for art reckon it’s worthy of an exhibition place. It looks as though the alfresco sculpture results from someone’s camp fire.

BRIGG POLICE’S SPECIAL BRANCH

Strong winds last week detached this branch from the tree alongside Brigg police station, in Cary Lane. Something of a lucky tree, it was going to be felled under expansion plans for Brigg’s “cop shop” which were put on hold. Years ago, someone passing by this scene would have "had it away on their toes" with the branch to put on a coal fire. But there's not the same demand for firewood today. And this is supposed to be one of our warmer times of year.

BRIGG SPEED LIMITS 'SHOULD BE REDUCED'

Brigg Town Council is to press the North Lincolnshire highway authority for a 40mph speed limit on the A18 - all the way from the town boundary to Wrawby.
Coun Ann Eardley wanted to go even further, and cut vehicle speed to 30mph – but failed to gain sufficient support. She said there had been a number of serious accidents on that stretch of road.
Brigg’s decision to call for a reduction from 60mph to 40mph on the road to Wrawby came as part of a consultation exercise being undertaken by North Lincolnshire Council, which makes periodic reviews of speed limits across the district.
Brigg councillors also decided to press for a reduction in the 60mph speed limit on the A1084 from Bigby High Road and beyond the Brigg Garden Centre.
That will be more complicated to achieve, as the road crosses from North Lincolnshire into West Lindsey, whose highways are overseen by Lincolnshire County Council.
Coun Rob Waltham suggested there was particular need for a reduced speed limit near the bends in the road approaching Brigg Garden Centre.
Coun Penny Smith recalled that when the councils’ cross-border path was installed by for use by those visiting Brigg Garden Centre, the neighbouring council had also promised to look at the speed limit in its area.
“I think we should push for it again,” she suggested.

BRIGG MAYOR HELPS WORTHY CAUSES

Retiring Brigg Town Mayor Coun Ben Nobbs (pictured right) and Mayoress Barbara Morris presented a cheque for £818.40p to the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance at the end of his year of office.
The money was received, on behalf of the Air Ambulance, by Trevor Cherry, of Scawby Brook (left), during the town council’s annual meeting in the Angel Suite.
A further £818.40p will help prove additional equipment at the Davy Memorial Playing Field, between Bigby Road and King’s Avenue, in a “match-funding” initiative.
The Mayor’s Charity Appeal Fund benefited from events like the civic awards coffee morning, a collection at the civic service, a street collection, a jazz night and the civic charity dinner. There were also donations from groups and individuals.
In his retirement speech as Mayor, Coun Nobbs thanked Mayoress Barbara Morris for all her support, along with his Chaplain the Rev Enid Knowles, council staff and fellow councillors.
Coun Nobbs revealed 106 events attended during the year, including the 10th anniversary Brigg Farmers’ Market, although snow had meant cancellation of the official switch-on of the town centre’s Christmas lights.
Coun John Kitwood, Deputy Town Mayor, was elected to become the town’s first citizen for the coming 12 months. He was proposed for the Town Mayor’s role by Coun James Truepenny and seconded by Coun Penny Smith.
Coun Kitwood thanked fellow councillor for the confidence placed in him and praised Coun Nobbs’ efforts as Town Mayor.
“Diligence and attention to detail has been his trademark,” said Coun Kitwood.
He noted the retirement of “font of knowledge” Tom Glossop after 32 years as a town councillor, congratulated Coun Edward Arnott on his recent marriage, and welcomed new members of the town council Sheila Boughey, Rob Waltham and Chris Dyson.
Coun Kitwood then announced Coun Alec Depledge would be the Town Mayor’s Chaplain for 2011-12.
Coun Carl Sherwood was elected Deputy Town Mayor and Mayor-Elect, thanking fellow councillors for the honour and pledging to undertake the duties “to the best of my ability and for the best of the town.”

The end of an era - quite possibly the last picture of Tom Glossop in a Brigg Town Council setting. Tom (right) retired this month after 32 years on the authority (deciding not to stand in the recent election), but he attended the council's annual meeting in the Angel Suite, as a member of the public. We took this picture of him with new Town Mayor Coun John Kitwood at the very end of the social get-together which followed the Mayormaking ceremony.

BRIGG BANDSTAND GETS FINE PAINT JOB

Brigg Bandstand has been repainted this week. And very nice it looks, too.
Ken Harrison kindly captured these pictures of the work being undertaken by painter Bob Pogson, from Scunthorpe.
When Brigg and District Civic Society was still active, it pressed for, and supported, the Bandstand, as a focal point of the Market Place.
It’s now some time since the society ceased to be active and Brigg Town Council has taken on the role of carer (doubtless in consultation with North Lincolnshire Council, overseer-in-chief of the pedestrianised town centre).
The Bandstand did not meet with everyone’s approval in Brigg when it first appeared – some people expected a much larger structure and pointed out you certainly couldn’t get what’s generally regarded as a normal-sized brass band inside it.
However, the Bandstand has gradually become more and more popular with small ensembles and pop musicians, while also providing a base for a variety of charity collections, promotions, presentations and surveys.

BASH'S BEST YET, MANY THOUGHT

By Phil Allen – Brigg Amateur Social Historians

The BASH annual 1940s night VE Day celebration, “I’ll Be Seeing You…”, took
place at Brigg & District Servicemen’s Club, Coney Court, Brigg.
The event was once again a great success. Many people came in 1940s forces’
or civilian dress to add to the atmosphere. The bar staff also “did their bit” by all being in 1940 uniforms.
Paula Baldwin’s “Shiny Stockings Swing Band” and singers Christine Scott, Tony Orme and Sara Blair-Manning provided excellent musical entertainment with 1940s and some 1950s music and songs.
The dancers “Jump Jive Alive” were excellent, and their example got most of us up and dancing at some time during the evening.
People got a chance to get their breath back during a break for the buffet and raffle and then the event moved on to a very patriotic second half. The celebration moved to its close with the singing of much-loved favourites such as “Land of Hope and Glory” accompanied by an extravaganza of Union Flag waving.
At the end the band played “God Save The Queen” and everybody spontaneously stood up which was a very fitting salute to this event and the times it celebrates.
As they left, many people said that this had been the best BASH 1940 night yet!

VERSE-ATILE COUNCILLOR'S TRIUMPH

Coun Alec Depledge broke new ground for Brigg Town Council by penning a light-hearted poem to make a serious point.
I’ve been going to meetings of the authority since 1980 and can’t remember anything quite like this taking place before.
The poem went down very well and received a round of applause from fellow councillors and members of the public attending the authority’s monthly meeting in the Angel Suite.
It also fulfilled Coun Alec’s intention to get fellow town councillors to come forward and fill a number of vacancies on the Brigg Community-led Plan Committee.
With his kind permission, we reproduce the words of wisdom here – a tribute to long-serving Coun Tom Glossop, who has now stepped down after 32 years on the authority and who continues to take a keen interest in the formation of our town's Community-led Plan. This document will show how townsfolk want to see Brigg develop in the future.

THE MANTLE OF TOM
The future of Brigg concerns everyone
met in this chamber today.
The Council determined – Community Plan,
formed by town-folk – that’s the way
So, funding received, a committee conceived
and working group put into place
The ship duly launched, soon hit stormy seas
was well-nigh lost without trace
Waves of nonsense, indifference, petulance too
made progress exceedingly slow.
Some crew stayed on board, guiding her toward
the destination ’twas deemed she should go
So here I now stand, making this heart-felt plea
Whatever the party you’re from
Arise from your rear, come on volunteer
And forgive me for sounding like Tom !

Coun Alec – Minister with Brigg’s New Life Church – this week took on the additional role of Chaplain to Town Mayor Coun John Kitwood during his year in office which ends next May.

You can see the original poem and more of Alec's work through this link... ALEC'S POETRY

Our picture shows Coun Depledge giving chapter and verse to fellow councillors. Right is Coun Ann Eardley - clearly amused by the poetic interlude.

SPEED LIMIT 'SHOULD BE LOOKED AT'

A stretch of the A1084 near Brigg Garden Centre, on the approaches to the town, should be considered for a lower speed limit, a Brigg town councillor has suggested.
North Lincolnshire Council is undertaking a review of speed limits and consulting town and parish councils across the district.
Coun Julian Kidd highlighted the number of pedestrians going to, and from, Brigg Garden Centre, Bigby High Road, and suggested the 60mph speed limit needed reconsidering.
However, he also felt the Town Council needed time to look at things in more depth. And this will now take place so an “informed response” can be drawn up.
Brigg Garden Centre is actually just over the border in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire.
Coun Jane Kitching felt town councillors should also consider the issue of two different speed limits currently being in place along Wrawby Road.
