UNSUNG HERO

There are many people working hard behing the scenes in Brigg - some on a voluntary basis and others in paid employment - to make our community a better place.
Into the latter category falls Lol Hartmann, who can be seen out and about on Brigg streets, as he was again very early this morning in Wrawby Street, sweeping up the leftover takeway cartons, cigarette ends and other litter people discard.
A long-standing Brigg resident, Lol's work will not earn him a fat salary, or much in the way of public recognition in a job well done...other than a mention in this Blog.
The town council has the Joseph J Magrath Award for Public Voluntary Service, and that's to be applauded. But how about something similar for those in paid, or part-time, employment who serve the town and its residents?
People like Lol, of the StreetRight team, allied to North Lincolnshire Council.
After all, public servants feature in the Honours system, as did Joseph Magrath, the late town clerk, for his great service to road safety.
