A report on major items of interest considered and discussed by the Brigg 20/20 Vision group will be received next week.
Coun The Rev Alec Depledge will update Brigg Town Council's Policy Committee at a meeting in the Angel Suite on Wednesday, January 21, from 7pm.
Members of the public are welcome to attend this session.
The future of Brigg.....one quite interesting suggestion, but very controversial, that someone made to me recently was the radical notion of extending the Old Courts Road, by the car-park, towards Springs Way.
ReplyDeleteThe hypothetical idea would need the demolition of the Serviceman's Club and the toilet block in Cary Lane.
Initially, perhaps a seemingly mad idea, but the Serviceman's Club is on prime retail land....and given the proper incentive, the club could afford to relocate to another site.
At a stroke, the scruffy backyards of the shops on Wrawby St would enormously increase in value...and the road would become a prime redevelopment zone in extending the the town's retail and trading importance.
Brigg has got to develop over the next generations - otherwise the town will die as retail outlets move to zones outside the town.
It initially appeared to be a pie in the sky, a rather silly idea, but there is a very strong argument in favour of what suggested....
