ARE CHANGES ON THE WAY AT BRIGG TOWN COUNCIL?

For many years Brigg Town Council met once a month and transacted all its business in one often very long Monday night session.
This altered some time ago when much of the day-to-day business was delegated to committees, with the monthly full council meeting rounding off the cycle and becoming something of a rubber-stamping exercise, other than a few very important issues.
The first meeting following the recent election was the council's Annual Meeting in the Angel Suite, during which Coun Rob Waltham suggested a group should be established to review committee procedures. 
This is now expected to be discussed during a future meeting of the full council.
Coun Mike Campion said it seemed strange to him that there was any suggestion of changing something that was working perfectly well. 
The council has a planning and environment committee, a policy committee, a personal committee and a property and services committee. 
Committee meetings are generally held on Wednesday evenings, in the Angel Suite Lounge.
