OH YES IT IS!

Some members of the younger element in Brigg think it's time for a change at the annual Christmas lights switch-on in the Market Place.
This year's is coming up on Friday, December 5 - and we will release full details nearer the time - but not everyone is happy with the tried and trusted formula.
This involves the cast of the Scunthorpe Plowright Theatre pantomime donning their costumes and entertaining the audience either side of the Christmas lights being switched on.
My reply to this suggestion has been along the lines of: If it ain't bust, don't mend it!
For most people seem happy with the way the ceremony is handled, and it draws big crowds to the town centre. However, maybe I'm a touch too close to the town council on this one; perhaps you have contrary views.
If so, please post your comment here. Any received - for or against change - will be drawn to the attention of the council, and I'm sure will be taken into consideration for future years.

PS I seem to recall last year one young resident suggested it would be a good idea to get a real star along for the switch-on...maybe the beautiful Beyonce. Great thought but her night's appearance fee would probably cost half the town council's budget for the year, if not the entire precept!
