FOOD FOR THOUGHT


The new litter bin put in the wrong place in Bigby Street seems to have provided an unexpected benefit to a local business.
Brigg Town Council paid for the bin, which it wanted to see erected next to the public seat, alongside the zebra crossing, to reduced the amount of litter on the street.
However, North Lincolnshire Council then sited the bin some 20 yards away - outside the pizza take-away, on the corner of Prince's Street.
Now Coun Maureen Glossop has suggested the bin is being used by customers from the take-away for their finished-with boxes.
She raised the issue at last night's monthly meeting of the town council in the Angel Suite.
Expect councillors to chew over this one again in the coming weeks!

Our picture shows the bin's close proximity to the popular take-away restaurant which, we are keen to stress, has had no say in where the bin has ended up.
