Much has been said, and written, about congestion on Grammar School Road in Brigg - much of it resulting from on-street parking by people whose homes to do not have drives or garages. The householders park perfectly legally on Grammar School Road, but it's narrow and very heavily used. So through traffic heading in both directions often suffers hold-ups.
Has anyone thought to investigate whether the car park at the nearby Vale Academy sports hall might be used for evening parking by residents living nearby?
At a council meeting a few months ago, one representative suggested the Ancholme Inn site should be used for the same purpose. Clearly that's a non-starter in 2013, as we expect to see an application for housing to go up there now the pub has been demolished.
But the Vale sports hall - on the other side of Grammar School Road - just might hold the key to this thorny issue.
