A small piece in one of today's Sunday papers suggests the Government is taking steps to combat the number of advertising boards for businesses dotted about town and city streets, as these are obstacles to blind people.
Brigg has its fair share of these A-boards, although those near the entrance to Old Courts Road, off Barnard Avenue, are not on the footpath but an area of grass.
We'll have to wait and see whether the edict cascades down as far as Brigg streets.

What is more than just a hazard of the 'A' boards in Brigg to more than the sight-impaired, are when such boards are blown over in the wind and no-one picks them up.
On a number of occasions, I seen a number of people trip, or nearly trip over such boads lying on the ground.
Perhaps, shopkeepers should be obliged to weigh them down to make them more stable.
