Brigg has never had it so good when it comes to a clean and tidy River Ancholme near the County Bridge.
The famous late 1950s sentiments of Conservative Prime Minister Harold "Supermac" Macmillan lived on at a recent meeting of the Brigg Town Council Policy Committee in the Angel Suite.
The Town Council has funded weed cutting and litter clearing, while the Environment Agency is on board with improvements. The old, dilapidated mooring alongside the White Hart, and overhanging foliage, have been removed.
Town Clerk Jeanette Woollard suggested to councillors that the river looked as good as it ever had, pointing out that, in past years, litter would now have accumulated on this stretch of the river in the autumn.
Coun Mel Oades felt that work undertaken had made a massive difference to the situation.
