One or two rats have been reported at the Grammar School Road allotments, overseen by Brigg Town Council. Immediate steps are to be taken, with authority given for a specialist firm to be brought in to monitor the situation and take any necessary steps. Despite the rat problem being a small one, town councillors, meeting tonight in the Angel Suite, decided on swift action, in line with "duty of care" and health and safety at the site.
Coun Penny Smith stressed they needed to call in specialists.
Coun Mel Oades was keen to ensure the other allotments, in Redcombe Lane, were also covered by any rat-monitoring initiative, to dispel possible accusations which might arise of "double standards."
Coun Michael Galvin agreed with that stance, hoping the cost might be proportionately lower for monitoring two sites, rather than one.
