BRIGG BANNERS AND A-BOARDS BACK ON AGENDA

The topic "Increasing use of advertising banners and A-boards throughout the town" is back on the agenda when Brigg Town Council meets next Monday, July 28 in the Angel Suite, from 7.30pm.
There was a lively discussion about this issue at the June meeting of the authority when it was decided North Lincolnshire Council should be asked to undertake a full audit of the banners and advertising methods currently being used in Brigg and take appropriate action in accordance with the legislation in place that governs advertising. 
In addition, Brigg Town Council asked the North Lincolnshire Council authority to examine the use of A-Boards throughout the town and take such action as is appropriate, within their existing policy, governing the use of A-Boards for advertising.
The Town Council added: "At the same time reassurance should be provided to the business community that the Town Council is not trying to stop businesses from advertising and encouraging trade in the town but it is simply seeking to achieve consistency, otherwise the appearance of the town will soon deteriorate."
At next Monday's meeting in the Angel, town councillors will "consider any response from North Lincolnshire Council."
It's usual for up to three members of the North Lincolnshire Council cabinet of top councillors to attend such monthly meetings in Brigg. So even if there's no official letter back from the relevant council department(s) it could be there will be a verbal update from the cabinet attendees.
All Brigg Town Council meetings are open to interested members of the public. So why not pop along? Item 11 on Monday's agenda is Public Question Time, offering ocal people the chance to raise issues of interest/concern to them.
