WHERE TO FIND EXTRA FREE CAR PARKING NEAR BRIGG TOWN CENTRE


Many people will be heading into Brigg by car tomorrow (Saturday, August 13) to enjoy the special summer food fair, craft and traditional markets, and an extensive live music programme throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
This influx will put pressure on the main car parks off Old Courts Road and to the rear of the Angel building.
So visitors should be aware that a third option - also FREE - is available.
People can park up all day either side of lengthy Station Road at DN20 8XJ - a road which leads through to the railway station where more spaces are available.
A sign now informs drivers they leave vehicles at their own risk near North Lincolnshire Council's former Hewson House office complex (recently declared surplus to requirements ahead of proposed redevelopment to provide more local housing).
Those with local knowledge will probably realise that Station Road - not far from the Monument roundabout - is available for parking, but visitors from other areas are likely to be unaware.
Having parked, people can make their way (straight ahead) past the old Post Office and along Queen Street to access Wrawby Street at the eastern edge of the town centre.
Station Road car parking may prove of particular value to drivers coming into Brigg along the A18 (Wrawby Road) and from places in West Lindsey via the A1084 (Bigby High Road/Bigby Road).
In both cases, turn off at the Monument roundabout past the car wash and then left immediately after the zebra crossing near the old Post Office and the Nisa Local shop.

PICTURED: The last few yards of lengthy Station Road, looking towards Queen Street and the eastern end of the town centre. Inset - the council's advisory notice now on display to motorists who opt to park here.
