REMEMBER: SHOPPERS ENJOY FREE PARKING ON BIGGEST NIGHT OF YEAR IN BRIGG TOWN CENTRE

Santa in Brigg town centre for the Christmas lights switch-on, fayre and late night shopping.

A welcome and timely reminder about free parking in Brigg has been issued by our friends in the North Lincolnshire Council press office.
The authority, which operates our municipal car parks, will be "relaxing" car parking charges again this year on certain days for late night shoppers in Scunthorpe, Ashby and Brigg in the run-up to Christmas, encouraging more people to the town centres.
Car parking charges for Brigg will not apply from 4pm on Friday, November 30, which is the night when Brigg District Lions hold their Christmas Fayre, Brigg Town Council's illuminations will be switched on and late night shopping will be in force in shops until 9pm.
Any money that is taken through ticket machines after 4pm will be donated to The Town Mayor’s Appeal Fund. Our current first citizen, Coun Carl Sherwood, is raising money throughout his year in office for the Brigg Breast Cancer Care group and Brigg LIVES First Responders.
North Lincolnshire Council rightly points out that the relaxation of car parking charges is a great incentive for visiting families to go along and join in.
Leader Councillor Liz Redfern said: “We have decided to relax the car parking charges again this year, as last year was a great success.  There is a lot on offer in our town centres in North Lincolnshire, which is why we want to encourage people to shop locally."
