UPDATE ON THE BEST-KEPT BRIGG GARDEN AND ALLOTMENT COMPETITION

The number of entries received for the annual Brigg Best-Kept Garden & Allotment Competition is to be revealed during the Town Council's  monthly meeting, to be held on Monday, July 23, 2018, in the Angel Suite, starting at 7.15pm.
Members of the public are welcome to attend and Public Question Time is on the agenda (see below).
There has been a major change to the competition this year, with townsfolk now being offered the chance to make nominations, rather than councillors touring the town to draw up a shortlist.
The closing date for entries was July 15; winners in the various categories will be announced, and trophies and certificates presented, in September.
