Brigg shops classed as 'non-essential' can reopen today (Monday, April 12) together with town pubs which choose to do so as the Government lifts some of its Coronavirus emergency restrictions. We should stress that it's outdoor 'table service' only at local hostelries.
This resumption after another lengthy Coronavirus emergency lockdown will be welcomed by many people on both sides of the counter.
Two Brigg businesses have been on the move to Wrawby Street during lockdown.
Formerly in courtyard premises, Honey Bee Gifts & Lifestyle is now at 71 Wrawby Street - between Cooplands and DDM.
The Kennedi Boutique has relocated from the Market Place (near the County Bridge) to take over double-fronted premises previously used by the Lindsey Lodge Hospice.
Charity shops are also permitted to reopen after lockdown and the Sue Ryder outlet (seen here) will be trading again on Springs Parade from 9.30am today.
The Government has changed its 'Stay (At) Home' instruction to 'Stay Local'. So, from today, Brigg can expect to see more people travelling in for nearby communities to use our shops and other businesses.
Pubs beer gardens in the town reopening today are:
The Dying Gladiator, Bigby Street.
Wetherspoon's White Horse, Wrawby Street.
Yarborough Hunt, Bridge Street.
Brigg Town Football Club's licensed Hawthorns clubhouse will also resume serving drinks in its adjoining beer garden, from 3pm.
North Lincolnshire Council is reopening Ancholme Leisure Centre at Scawby Brook for swimming and gym use from today (Monday).
Brigg & District Servicemen's Club will be offering outdoor table service from Tuesday (13th) in its beer garden overlooking Coney Court.
