A Pavement Licence has now been granted to a Brigg town centre eatery - meaning it can put out tables and chairs for customers to use while consuming food and drink.
The new licence for the Cafe Courtyard, in the Market Place, has been granted by North Lincolnshire Council which approved an application submitted some weeks ago.
This will permit the well-known eatery, located on the ground floor of the Angel building, to position furniture on a paved part of the Market Place near Exchange Place from today (Monday, April 12) when some lockdown restrictions are lifted by the Government.
Our picture above shows the area of pavement designated - the application requesting up to 3 metres from the building.
Eateries are still banned from serving food inside their premises, but they can offer food and drink al fresco if they have suitable facilities available nearby.
Hot items on the refreshment menu (examples seen above) are likely to be in demand during April, in view of the weather!
Elsewhere in the Market Place, the Woolpack and Yellow Belly Pizza submitted successful applications for Pavement Licences last year.
Pavement Licences relate to the Business & Planning Act 2020 - a relatively new law.
Elsewhere in Brigg town centre, Wetherspoon's White Horse on Wrawby Street, will be serving food for consumption outside its premises from 9am today.
The company says there will be a slightly reduced menu, to include breakfast, burgers, pizza, deli deals, fish and chips and British classics. Food will be available from 9am to 8pm, seven days a week.
Food is also expected to be available to those visiting the beer garden behind the Lord Nelson, in the Market Place.
