Brigg Town councillors, just like Brigg Blog, seemed a shade surprised to see that a "change of use" planning application had been decided by North Lincolnshire Council before the Town Council managed to consider it.
Bad weather meant town councillors' planned meeting was called off and items for discussion had to be rescheduled for the beginning of this week.
The Town Council thought North Lincolnshire planners would be granting them a bit more time to comment on a scheme to operate car sales from the former United Carpets premises near The Monument, Bigby Road.
But by the time the Brigg Town Council Planning and Environment Committee met on Monday night in the Angel Suite, the North Lincolnshire authority had already considered and approved the application.
There had been some preliminary discussion of it several weeks ago by Brigg councillors who posed a few questions, including car parking provision for visitors to the premises. They hoped further information might have been available second time round. But the district planning authority, which is the sole judge of applications, was happy to give the go-ahead.
Brigg Blog followers who have passed the location in recent days may well have observed that refurbishment is underway. We think it must be about 30 years since W A Sass last sold cars from there - in the days of British Leyland. The wheel has now turned full circle, so to speak.
