Brigg Town Council has agreed in principal to the idea proposed by Coun Ann Eardley, Deputy Town Mayor.
Wrawby Street and the Market Place are set to get the colourful treatment (see previous year's picture above).
Costings will be obtained and presented to a future meeting, with a view to getting the bunting in place as soon as possible.
Coun Mike Campion felt the bunting should not be left up too long or it could begin to look tatty.
Coun Penny Smith voted against the proposal, saying she was sick of picking up bunting that had fallen down.
I think the origin of bunting goes back to C17th, I remember it well!!

Why not bathe the Angel in curling red, white and blue lights?
On an everyday basis, how about illuminating the various alleyways and even County Bridge with different coloured lights?
