BEWARE OF TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF GLEBE ROAD IN BRIGG

Warning signs have gone up at either end of Glebe Road in Brigg to alert motorists about the thoroughfare's impending closure while the hated traffic islands are being removed. We think new humps are to be installed, and hopefully they will be of the low variety, similar to the ones on Woodbine Avenue, rather than the "car-shakers" experienced along some of Scunthorpe's streets overseen by North Lincolnshire Council, the district highway authority.
You can read the full story on the Glebe Road temporary closure, including official North Lincolnshire Council comment, through this link
Brigg and Wolds' Coun Nigel Sherwood is the Cabinet Member for Highways and Neighbourhoods on the unitary authority and will be fully aware of the views of many Brigg folk about these traffic islands being  a waste of space now Glebe Road school is no longer there. 
Once they have gone we expect parking along Glebe Road to be much easier and hope traffic flow will be greatly improved. We trust that when the council workers have  finished, it will be easier for Brigg people to park up near the chippie and nip in for  "one of each."  On Saturdays, in particular, it always seems a challenge to spy an available parking space.
