BIN LADEN

Talking about off-putting for people visiting Brigg!
There's a dog-mess bin on Bigby Road, near the junction with St Helen's Road, which is not only full...but full to overflowing.
So much so, bags of New Year 'doggie-delights' are piling up on the grass verge underneath the bin.
Dog-owners are always been urged to clean up after their pets, with fines for those who let their animals foul the grass verges and footpaths.
That's how it should be. But surely North Lincolnshire Council needs to play its part by emptying bins like this when they become full.
If you are getting a slight feeling of deja vu reading this, it's not real surprise. For this is not the first New Year we have had to take the council to task for not getting its act together over the emptying of this particular bin.
Hundreds of motorists enter Brigg each day from the Caistor direction, along the A1084, and seeing piles of dog poo gives a poor impression of our town.
Brigg is certainly not...Well we had better leave out the word I'm thinking of but you can insert your own guess!
* Apologies about the absence of a picture. If the bin is not emptied by tomorrow I'll nip out and take a snap so you can see what I'm banging on about.
FOOTNOTE: Upon returning to Brigg at tea-time I was delighted to see the bin had been emptied at last. It appears Coun Nigel Sherwood had spotted the problem on Brigg Blog and got onto someone about it. Nice one, Nige!
