BRIGG ELECTION RESULT

The official result has now been declared by North Lincolnshire Council, our polling authority, for the Brigg Town Council election held yesterday (Thursday, July 24).
The voting was as follows:

• Nigel Sherwood 810 (Conservative)
• Lew Schaffer 234 (Labour)

There was a 25.8% turnout.
Nigel Sherwood therefore gains a place on Brigg Town Council, which was created by the resignation of Coun Mel Oades.
Nigel is already a member of North Lincolnshire Council, being the Cabinet Member of Highways and Neighbourhoods.

The next Town Council meeting is coming up on Monday.
