FIXED

The broken street light on St Helen's Road, mentioned several times in recent weeks in Brigg Blog, has been fixed. So our thanks go to the staff who got round to getting it sorted, and to Coun Nigel Sherwood for his interest.
Unfortunately, the computer-controlled display in the bus shelter in Cary Lane is still out of action, as it has been for months. The on-screen message is still urging staff to try plugging in the keyboard, as a possible fix. And there's still no other way of knowing what time the next bus will be leaving for Scunthorpe.
Unless, of course, it's during office hours and you nip round and collect a printed timetable from the helpful ladies at the Brigg Tourist Information Centre, in the Market Place.
No-one in authority seems able to get hold of the right folk to fix the Traveline display system. It was installed using public money, but the public haven't had much use out of the thing.
Better, perhaps, to wind back the clock and stick some printed timetables in a glass case on a nearby lamp-post.
