BRIGG ORDERS NOW PLACED


Orders have now been placed for new public benches to be installed in Brigg, with delivery expected towards the end of next month.
Judging by the number of existing public seats being used across the town yesterday afternoon - in glorious weather - the additions will be welcomed.
There will be a couple of benches on Wrawby Road - one on the corner of Eastfield Road and the other near to the Sir John Nelthorpe Lower School boundary.
Two more will be at the entrance to Chapel Court near the car park.
Our recent report about plans to install a big 240-litre bin on East Park, near the Tintab shelter, proved timely.
The picture above - taken yesterday - illustrates how this smaller bin struggles  to cope with fast food takeway boxes.
Other big 240-litre bins are earmarked for the riverside near the doctors' surgery and on the riverside near B&M's loading bay.
One is also destined for the river path near Fun Forest, and another 240-litre bin will be sited on the Millennium Green.
The new 110-litre bin planned on Woodbine Park will be placed at the entrance to the youth shelter.
Davy Memorial Playing Field will be receiving 110-litre bins for its  Bigby Road and Kings Avenue entrances - relocated from East Park and the Millennium Green.
We now learn that the cigarette bins planned to be sited outside some town centre pubs will be of the free-standing kind.
