BRIGG MEETING TOUCHES ON TOPICS OF INTEREST

January's monthly meeting of Brigg Town Council was something of a marathon session. But these things have a habit of balancing themselves out and the February session, held on Monday night in the Angel Suite, was one of the shortest for a long time.
Gentlemen of the Press outnumbered the Public Gallery 3-1, and the only member of the public who attended did not having anything to raise during Public Question Time.
Coun Ann Eardley raised some concerns about the cutting back of greenery on the Old River Ancholme towpath.
Coun Rob Waltham mentioned the start in spring of long-awaited improvements to roads and drainage on the Newlands Estate, amended traffic light control to come on the A18, and forthcoming street lights repairs.
There was talk on how to tidy up the town and collect litter, plus  reference to the recent granting of planning permission for new signs at the White Horse pub by North Lincolnshire Council's planning committee. 
And that was about it. Couns Nigel and Carl Sherwood, who, together with Coun Waltham, represent Brigg & Wolds on North Lincolnshire Council, tendered their apologies and were elsewhere. 
The body clock of Brigg Blog's reporter at the meeting must have been severely affected by the very early finish. He passed over an invitation to join the aforementioned Member of the Public for a pint in a local watering hole and instead headed off home.
