Back in January, North Lincolnshire Council granted planning permission for demolition of a single storey brick building within the Brigg Conservation Area, used to store the town's general and farmers' market stalls.
A council report described the structure between Cary Lane and Coney Court as "dilapidated."We were expecting it to come down fairly quickly after approval was granted. However, six months later the building is still there.
We have asked North Lincolnshire Council, which owns the property, whether it will reveal the timetable for demolition.
We'll keep you informed if a suggested date becomes clear.
When the planning application was submitted late last year, very small print on one of the drawings mentioned the erection of wooden fencing on the site once demolition had taken place.
A council heritage report back then said: "The building is a lock-up type store and over time its condition has deteriorated to such an extent that it has reached the end of its usable life.
"It is of brick construction with a pitched roof covered in asbestos cement sheeting."

Just a few logistical questions, Nige....If the market stall frames are to stored in, or about the Angel Car, as understood, how are they to safely transported to and from the Market Place.
The Exchange Passage is too narrow and it has a kink in it; while to go via Elwes St, the tow van and trailer has to turn left, thro' No Entry signs and bollards.....returning that juction has no sight lines to the traffic lights on that corner.
In addition, loading/unloading will be undertaken in a car park with moving traffic.
Has anyone thought about a dry run and of assessing the difficulties...or are folks assuming, for example, that the tow van and trailer can turn tight corners?
There needs to be a study of risk, if not done so already...
