North Lincolnshire Council refuses to back down and re-introduce the free concession for motorists using Brigg's main car parks. But how about a bit of goodwill being shown, seeing as it's the festive time of year?
The council owns a large staff car park, off Station Road, which could easily be opened up to the general public on Saturdays as an alternative to Tesco and Lidl. The authority could still charge for parking in Old Courts Road and the Angel, for those folk who are happy to pay to be very near the shops; those who choose to park FREE off Station Road, at the council staff facility, would obviously face a short walk to the town centre.
The benefit of this would be shoppers coming into Brigg from the Wrawby and Caistor directions could use Bigby Road and Albert Street to get to and from Station Road, keeping many vehicles away from severely congested Barnard Avenue.
What do you think?

1..Still a bit dozy, even after me 3rd cup to tea this morn....typed in what I thought was Brigg Blog and up popped a green page with a fairy on it!
Thought perhaps, Old Nige had gone a bit peculiar as Christmas got too much for him.
Apparently, I'd googled, 'Brigs Blog' by mistake and got someone writing a blog about 'green' issues around Glastonbury.
Got back to Nige's ramblings, but couldn't find a fairy.
2. I think we should have a mass sit-down strike in the NLC's car-parks. But I think we should wait until summer, so we can all enjoy ourselves with a BBQ picnic to while await the time.
We could all chant, We won't be moved!'.....and if I'm in Hull nick by then for promoting civil disobedience, please could someone bring me a bit of crackling from the BBQ?
