TYRED OF GIVING SAME MESSAGE

Some weeks ago, and long before the current bad weather arrived on the scene, we warned that the road surface around manhole covers on Bridge Street, Brigg, close to Kiln Lane, needed attention. North Lincolnshire highways staff must have missed our piece. For since the snow and ice arrived, the potholes surrounding the metal grates have got much bigger. Earlier today I dipped a wheel in one while trying to negotiate a car waiting to turn right.
Our advice now to motorists is to watch out for these manholes, close to the angling shop and the bus shelter. We will also suggest AGAIN that council repairs are required. This is, after all, an important A-road we are talking about - not some residential cul-de-sac.
Doubtless we can rely on the Couns Sherwood to chase things up. The problem area is close to the family cycle business but surely that doesn't mean they have to declare an interest under the rather strange rules the current Government is, very wisely, trying to tackle!
