GRASS VERGE PARKING IN BRIGG TO BE CONSIDERED BY COUNCILLORS

North Lincolnshire Council has suggested adopting a tougher stance over parking on grass verges in some parts of Brigg - but a number of residents think this may cause congestion on the roads in at least one area.
Some of the people living in Hawthorn Avenue are concerned about the notices recently issued by the highway authority "advising of the intention to enforce the by-law that prevents the use of ornamental grass verges for off-street parking."
The householders suggest that if vehicles are not parked on the verges it will "impact on traffic flow" through Hawthorn Avenue.
People in other areas of Brigg, where parking on grass verges has taken place for years and even decades, will be watching the outcome in Hawthorn Avenue with great interest.
A public airing of the issue may well come on Monday night (Feb 25) during the monthly meeting of Brigg Town Council in the Angel Suite (from 7.30pm).
Brigg Town Council will "consider the concerns raised by residents of Hawthorn Avenue." The town authority can, if it wishes, make its views known to North Lincolnshire Council, but the highway authority will have the final say.
Monday's Town Council meeting, as always, is open to interested members of the public.
Other items coming up at the may interest townsfolk:
BRIGG WAR MEMORIAL (MONUMENT): To consider the determination of a policy that will govern future requests for the addition of a name to the War Memorial.
PERSISTENT BREACHES OF THE TRAFFIC REGULATION GOVERNING THE PEDESTRIANISED ZONE IN BRIGG: To receive and consider responses from the Brigg Neighbourhood Policing Team and North Lincolnshire Council Civil Parking Enforcement.
