Pete...good idea, BUT and there is a big BUT...at the next election, the number of Brigg Town Councillors will be reduced from 19 to 9....so will all their voluntary, unpaid commitments they already have, who will have time to man a monthly public liaison group?
For interest. after the next local elections, Scawby Parish Council will have more councillors than Brigg.
