Further efforts are to be made to deter motorists who continue to ignore the “no right turn” restriction when leaving Tesco and joining the busy A18 on Barnard Avenue, Brigg.
Coun Ann Eardley again raised the issue at Brigg Town Council’s monthly meeting, saying: “It’s getting beyond a joke!”
Coun John Berry, one of the Brigg area’s representatives on North Lincolnshire Council, offered to help by raising the issue with Pete Scott, the authority’s head of safer roads. Coun Berry wondered whether a reservation “to physically stop them” might deter motorists from turning right.
Coun Tom Glossop suggested the store giant had promised improvements three years ago “We ought to be getting onto Tesco,” he suggested. “They should be getting their finger out.”
Town Clerk Jeanette Woollard pointed out Brigg police had suggested people should give them the registration numbers of those vehicles seen turning right.

Several possible solutions:
1. Move the small traffic island - to the right of the Tesco's exit - closer to the exit to deter right-turners. As a temporary measure place a portable bollard in location.
2. Better signage....only one sign at present,
3, Create another exit/access to Tesco - perhaps onto Cary Lane.
4, Have a cardboard cut-out of Independent Councillor John Berry at the exit with bubble saying 'Go Left' - that'll frighten the Tories!!!
