Please, no more expenditure on the town's Crimbo lights!
They may improve the seasonal image of the town, but the festive season is short; they are at their best at night when shops are usually closed...and for much of the festive period, shops are closed.
Perhaps, any budget allocations could be dispersed in such ventures that could promote Brigg's image as an interesting place to visit - ie electronic notice boards to advertise forthcoming events in the town; a town crier to both reinforce the above and to enhance the town's alleged focus on olde world charm and value....
