NEWLANDS RIDDLE

Information used by satellite navigation systems might need updating when it comes to the Newlands estate in Brigg, Coun Ann Eardley thinks.
She has been trying to work out why trucks heading for the Chartdale housing estate sometimes end up near a public footpath, and use Cherry Tree Avenue and Ash Grove when they don’t need to.
‘No through road to Chartdale’ signs, would solve the problem, she suggested at the quarterly meeting of the Brigg Neighbourhood Policing Panel, in the Angel Suite.
However, her idea gained no support.
Pete Scott, head of safer roads with the highway authority, North Lincolnshire Council, said delivery lorries, like those taking out groceries for Tesco, had a right to go into estates.
Panel chairman, Coun Tom Glossop, agreed, saying: “If they are legitimate deliveries, you cannot stop them.”
