BOXING CLEVER TO EASE BRIGG TRAFFIC CONGESTION

Late one afternoon recently we were driving up Queen Street during knocking off time for staff employed at North Lincolnshire Council's Hewson House offices. We wanted to go straight ahead to cross Bigby Street and head off along Albert Street to avoid the long queue of traffic backing up from The Monument roundabout. However, this proved very difficult because of backed-up traffic fouling the junction. How about North Lincolnshire Council creating  "do not enter unless your exit is clear" markings on Bigby Road for a few yards where it meets Queen Street (near the sorting office)? This would ensure drivers wanting to go straight  ahead into Albert Street could do so at all times. Those drivers with local knowledge know that Albert Street offers a way to beat the queues if they are heading off towards the A1084, in the direction of the level crossing.
We'll float that idea for possible consideration by Coun Nigel Sherwood (Brigg & Wolds), Cabinet Member for Highways and Neighbourhoods, and his team of traffic officers.
