PUTTING THEIR TRUST IN THE FUTURE OF BRIGG RECREATION GROUND

Sufficient interest has been shown to establish a charitable trust to take over management of Brigg Recreation Ground.
Councillor Carl Sherwood, who is the Cabinet Member overseeing sport at North Lincolnshire Council which runs and owns the ground off Wrawby Road, told Brigg Town Council that the initiative was only in its very early stages.
"I will keep the council and the press updated," he said.
Brigg Urban District Council established the ground post-war from what had been part of a farm. When the UDC disappeared in local government reorganisation during the mid-1970s, the new Brigg Town Council declined to  take over the ground and its ownership passed to Glanford Borough Council and then, in 1996, to North Lincolnshire Council.
