BRIGG IN BLOOM TO BRIGHTEN THE TOWN

Colourful catalogues were circulated among councillors attending June's Brigg Town Council meeting this week.
They featured a range of planters in which flowers can be placed.
Under the Brigg in Bloom initiative, the council is considering buying planters to brighten up areas of the town.
Locations being looked at are:

• Bridge Street
• Ancholme Way road bridge/fly-over
• County Bridge
• Riverside railings

At Monday night's meeting, Coun Rob Waltham reminded councillors of an environmental visual audit undertaken some time ago to identify suitable locations. 
He said there was a need for capital outlay on planters which could then be used year after year.
Town Clerk Claire Davis suggested asking businesses in the town to sponsor the planters.
At its July meeting the town council will consider a report about the planters' locations with detailed costings and is expected to make a final decision.
