A contractor will start work next week to create new Brigg allotments.
The plots are to be fashioned from part of Woodbine Park between Preston Drive, Hawthorn Avenue and the Springbank housing estate.
Brigg Town Council and North Lincolnshire Council have been working together to carry out the necessary spadework over many months, with planning permission being obtained which includes some conditions which are being complied with.
News that on-site work is about to begin was revealed during the Town Council's latest meeting, held earlier this week.
The area of land in question has been fenced off, on safety grounds, with some equipment being delivered to the site in recent days (see pictures here taken on Thursday evening, June 24).
Next week it will be all systems go to create the plots for tenants wishing to grow their own fruit & veg.
The Woodbine Park allotments will replace those off Grammar School Road (not far from the M180 flyover) which occupy land close to Atherton Way. It is required for future redevelopment.
Brigg Town Council will manage the new site on Woodbine Park which was occupied by post-war prefab bungalows from the 1950s through to the early 1970s when they were demolished.
A park and children's play area was subsequently created on this extensive site, stretching from Preston Drive as far as the junction between South View Avenue and Atkinson Avenue.
The Town Council's other allotments site, off Atherton Way and Redcombe Lane, will be unaffected by the new development.
Kelsey Construction - the contractor working on the Woodbine Park plots - was involved in the extensive and acclaimed Brigg Recreation Ground revamp a few years ago.
