BRIGG POTHOLES & STREET LIGHTS - MIND HOW YOU GO

 

Having been told that one driver was making a point of avoiding a Brigg street because of a range of potholes, Brigg Blog took a walk on Saturday afternoon with the intention of taking  pictures to highlight the issue reported.
However, it appears North Lincolnshire Council, the highway authority, had beaten us to it. For half-a-dozen holes on King's Avenue had been filled in with tarmacadam by the time we got to the scene, which is good news for motorists.
A walk round the corner into Yarborough Road showed a couple of others still awaiting attention. And there's also a street light "out" halfway down St Helen's Road, which has been like that for some time.
Putting things into perspective, the council has hundreds of roads and thousands of lights to monitor in an area from Haxey across to Killingholme and from Redbourne up to Barton.
But to members of the public it's only their little patch that seems to matter. NIMBY-ism, we think they call it ("not in my back yard").
Brigg Blog is confident someone will be sent out to sort the couple of potholes pictured here and attend to the street light in this very, very small corner of North Lincs.
