Brigg and Goole MP Andrew Percy unveiled a plaque to mark the improvements - upstairs and downstairs, including the addition of a lift to make the second floor meeting room accessible to those for whom the ornate, winding staircase had posed difficulties.
We will be posting pictures from the event later, once we get time to process them.
It was an enjoyable ceremony, accompanied by light refreshments. Our MP was also involved in presenting awards to top performers in the Brigg Sausage Competition, staged at the adjoining monthly Brigg Farmers' Market in the Market Place. Spelman's - well-known in Brigg - were runners-up and we've a picture of that to share with you.
The Brigg Town Business Partnership was involved and deserves a mention in despatches, as does North Lincolnshire Council - owner and operator of the Buttecross - and Brigg Town Council, represented by the Town Mayor, Coun Carl Sherwood, and the Mayoress, Louise Mikkonen.
Coun Carl was also wearing his other hat as a member of the ruling Cabinet at Nor
There was also an excellent turnout from the lady and gentlemen of the Press. Brigg Blog would like it to be known that not only did we decline all offers to sample the wide range of sausages but we also politely declined the tempting array of cakes, settling for a cuppa and leaving it at that.
