FREIGHT TRAINS HAVING DETRIMENTAL IMPACT ON BRIGG RESIDENTS' LIVES, TOWN COUNCIL TOLD


A concerned resident of Burgess Road has complained to Brigg Town Council about the increase in freight trains using the railway line through the town.
For those unfamiliar with Burgess Road, it is not far from the A1084 level crossing and its properties are very close to the railway - some with gardens going back towards the lineside.
At tomorrow night's November meeting, Brigg Town Council will consider "representation" about what is described as "the detrimental impact of increased freight transport on residents, and, in particular, those properties immediately adjacent to the railway line."
This is one of the items listed for Monday's meeting in the Angel Suite, starting at 7.30pm.
As ever, Public Question Time is available to anyone from Brigg wishing to go along and raise points of interest, or concern, with the town council.
Prior to the Town Council deliberations there will be a meeting of the Planning and Environment Committee at 7pm, when one of the items for consideration is a planning application to erect a day room and shower/utility room on land adjacent, with change of use, at 5 Westrum Park, Westrum Lane, Brigg.
This is at the far end of Westrum Lane and therefore just over the county border into West Lindsey District Council's domain.
However, Brigg Town Council is a "neighbouring authority" and therefore in a position to make comment, if it wishes to do so.
The Brigg Planning and Environment Committee meeting starts at 7pm and - like the full council session that follows - is open to interested members of the public.
But anyone attending should not that entry to the Angel Suite in the evening will be through the conservatory-like building at the back of the premises, near the car park.
