The value of Public Question Time at each month's Brigg Town Council meeting was demonstrated very well on Monday night in the Angel Suite.
Ken Harrison, an interested member of the public, went along to inquire whether Brigg Town Council might contact Tesco in an effort to get a response to rumours about its recently approved new Brigg store being put on hold, or delayed, for some reason.
Tesco has now issued a statement to the Press (see link below).
Quite often no-one attends Public Question Time, which is a shame, as it's an open invitation for people to go along and raise issues of concern.
Once a year, in similar fashion, there's an Annual Town Meeting in Brigg, where an entire session is set aside in the Angel Suite for people to go along and have their say.
Democracy in action, but, sadly, also poorly attended, considering the number of town residents.
In due course, Brigg Blog will post details of the forthcoming Annual Town Meeting, just in case you have something you wish to get off your chest.
