With Brigg Town Council about to discuss measures to deter parking on the paved area at the eastern end of Wrawby Street, perhaps some of our elected representatives observed what things were like on Saturday evening (May 22).
Cars had been parked so they filled the entire space.
At the authority's monthly meeting tonight night (Tuesday) an agenda item will ask councillors "to resolve a programme of action on the York Stone parking issues."
This paving, installed in the mid-1990s, was never intended to be used for car parking, although there's no signage to deter people from doing so.
A close look at the surface of the paving shows some surface damage (pictured above), although this may, in part, be down to the age of the slabs and years of weathering.
Following the lifting of some Coronavirus emergency measures by the Government, May 22 was the first Saturday night when Brigg bar customers were allowed to begin sitting indoors again, rather than settling for tables and chairs in adjoining beer gardens.
In view of the chilly temperature and the threat of rain, this resumption proved to be well timed.
Due to lockdown and then a period of outdoor drinking only since April, the first Saturday pints since December were enjoyed indoors in Brigg.
It seemed strange to be back inside licensed premises, but some people still opted for spots in the beer gardens - perhaps having become accustomed to doing so in recent weeks.
Among people out and about last Saturday night was local mobile caterer Andrew Devai who we met on a travels, glass in hand. Andrew tells us that, further to our earlier post, he now intends to open his Snack Shack at the Black Bull (rear car park) this Thursday (May 27) which is market day. He will be offering a range of fast food.
