DEMOCRACY IN ACTION

Only a tiny proportion of Brigg residents have ever attended a meeting of our town council. But if you are curious to see local democracy in action, and have an hour or so to spare, another opportunity is coming along on Monday when the council holds its monthly meeting in the Angel Suite, off Market Place, at 7.30pm.
Members of the public can raise matters of interest, but it's a facility which is rarely used. They are also welcome to sit and listen to issues of interest being discussed and debated by their elected representatives.
On Monday, town councillors are 'to further consider the decision by North Lincolnshire Council to remove the two-hour free parking concession in Brigg, including:
  • The outcome of the public meeting
  • Determining any further action to be taken by the town council, including the presentation of the petition.

Other items on the agenda include:

  • Police matters
  • An update on the 3Bs Street Project helping youngsters in Brigg, Barnetby and Broughton
  • Consideration of North Lincolnshire Council's map outlining where housing and industry might be allowed in Brigg in the future.

Maybe I'll see you there....
