Trains will be in our elected representatives' thoughts at the monthly meeting of Brigg Town Council on Monday (October 22) in the Angel Suite from 7.30pm.
The Town Council has received an email from Paul Johnson, of the South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Peterborough United Supporters' Group, regarding the poor level of passenger rail services.
Regular Brigg Blog readers will be well aware that Brigg has passenger trains only on Saturdays - three each way to Sheffield and Cleethorpes/Grimsby. The rest of the week, it's freight only along the Brigg line.
Paul says he saw an article we did online about the state of rail travel to/from Brigg.
He told Brigg Blog: "As the chairman of a large supporters' group for Peterborough United fans
covering Lincolnshire, the ongoing farce of poor train services in the county
keeps popping up a regular intervals.
!I remember, as a child, travelling from Sheffield Midland to Cleethorpes via
Brigg on what was then a better rail service.
"You may find the link below from a rail forum site a good read...."
As always, next Monday's meeting of the town council is open to interested members of the public. If anyone wants to raise topics relevant to them, Public Question Time is included within the agenda.
Also open to the public is Monday's meeting of Brigg Town Council's Planning and Environment Committee in the Angel Suite, starting at 7pm.
Town councillors will consider planning applications currently going through the system at North Lincolnshire level. Brigg Town Council must be consulted as the first stage in the planning process.
