BRIGG DOES IT ON A BUDGET!

During the debate which accompanied Brigg Town Council setting its budget for the 2016/17 financial year to begin during April, Coun Mike Storey (pictured) said the aim was to give Brigg the quality of services it needs and to offer value for money. "That's what we should be focus on," he told fellow elected representatives.
Coun Jane Gibbons was keen to see some money being set aside to clean the Monument war memorial. (We think it's about five years since it was last done).
Deputy Town Mayor Coun Ann Eardley wanted to ensure some money was available to help with events the public may wish to stage as part of the Queen's 90th Birthday celebrations.
All sensible suggestions,  in Brigg Blog's humble opinion.
The Chancellor appears in Downing Street on Budget Day, clutching the famous red briefcase  in one hand. The media turns out en masse to photograph and film the moment. 
In contrast, there are no props when Brigg Town Council meets to set its budget in the Angel Suite...with only two members of the press in attendance!
