WHAT'S BEING DONE FOR BRIGG

The Annual Brigg Town Meeting in the Angel Suite on Monday night received a yearly report from the three Brigg & Wolds Ward councillors - Rob Waltham, who presented it;  Coun Carl Sherwood, who was present; and Coun Nigel Sherwood, who tendered his apologies and was attending a  parish meeting in Barnetby that night.
The report outlined what's been done for Brigg by the unitary authority.
We've picked out a few of the items mentioned...
RECREATION GROUND: The first sod has just been dug in a £2.4 million project to revamp the facility, off Wrawby Road, providing all-weather surfaces and new changing rooms.
FOOTPATH/CYCLEWAY: Progress continues on creating the Ancholme Way riverside link all the way to South Ferriby.
CAR PARKING: Brigg's municipal car parks offer free parking all day Saturday and Sunday.
IMAGINATION LIBRARY: Offering regular free books to young children, this has done a massive amount to help literacy.
BRIGG LIBRARY: A well used facility in the Angel building.
SURGERIES: Couns Rob, Carl and Nigel continue to hold regular surgeries where the public can raise any issues with them.
NEWLANDS SCHEME: Work still in progress.
With regard to Newlands, where drainage, roads and footpaths are being improved in a major contract, former councillor Jackie Brock, who lives on the estate, thanked North Lincolnshire Council for the improvements.
