Any day now, the management of an area of public green space in Brigg will by taken on by the Town Council.
The Millennium Green, between Elwes Street and the Old River Ancholme, will be literally signed, sealed and delivered.
Town Mayor Coun Sharon Riggall and Deputy Town Mayor Coun Donald Campbell will be there were it happens.
Negotiations at legal level with North Lincolnshire Council have stretched over many months.
But that's all concluded to everyone's satisfaction, and the transfer of the lease is about to be completed.
The Millennium Green was one of many Year 2000 projects across the UK.
A trust and volunteers oversaw the upkeep of the green for some years.
It has seating as well as litter bins to be used by those who pay a visit.
In due course, Brigg Town Council is expected to consider making improvements and adding to what's on offer, as well as keeping things in good order.
The picture above shows part of the Millennium Green in August 2016.

with holland/brigg park now over grown and that area being refurbished could there not be a wooden bridge going over butchers drain with a connecting walk/cycleway to the river and the millennium green therefore connecting three of brigg green areas and with the river side walk could also increase visitors to brigg to/from the rail station.
Good site for a boat slipway....will allow folks to get their small family day boats on/off river..we'll the power-that-be keep emphasising more river usages, but seemingly restrict their support to existing river clubs, which has limited affect on actually increasing public usage....not everyone wants to row and canoe....some just want to cruise their family about on a sunny day....and then trail their boat home...
