SIX POSITIVES FOR BRIGG

Skate Park at Ancholme Leisure Centre - picture on Nigel Fisher's Brigg Blog

North Lincolnshire Council's three Brigg & Wolds representatives on Brigg Town Council - Coun Nigel Sherwood, Coun Rob Waltham and Coun Carl Sherwood - presented this report  to Monday night's meeting in the Angel Suite.
  • The river path from the stepped area (near the County Bridge)  is now complete and we have received positive feedback. New benches and bins are being delivered and installed over the next few weeks.
  • We are working with Andrew Percy MP in discussions with B&M to arrange for their car park to be cleaned up and for improved maintenance.
  • The Call Connect bus service is continuing to go from strength to strength. A special £1 offer has been introduced for young people up to 19 to assist them to access activities throughout the summer.
  • Summer free swimming for children started at the Ancholme Leisure Centre today (Monday, July 25).
  • A consultation is to commence in September regarding the adoption of Atherton Way. Proposals will include new Traffic Regulation Orders and a beefed up school safety zone. The Town Council will be a statutory consultee.
  • The skate park at the Ancholme Leisure Centre has been closed for a while for maintenance. It reopened last week in time for the school holidays.

    Since one is unable to comment about MaccaDee's on the Big Mac post.....the most obvious spot is adjacent to the new Aldi store....that is the next retail development site..

    On the negative side...1.still no activity on the status of Market Lane..2 Continued conundrum about traffic in the pedestrian zone..when will we see the light at the end of the tunnel...3. Obvious need for market traders to have access to public toilets...last week the bogs were still locked at 11am..Why can't some responsible marketeer have a key?
    Well done to the councillors for the results in the '6'...but politicians are best when they have a strong opposition...and some of us have be Devil Advocates to keep these guys on their toes....

    ....and 4. Can we, the community, have an objective evaluation of the expensive cctv system in Brigg?
    For example, how effective is it in crime detection - ie how many incidents within the cctv zone compared with percentage of such images being caught on camera? In theory, it should be 100 percent. How many cameras are actually effective...ie not broken, facing the wall, not in focus??
