BRIGG SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR SERVICES RENDERED

The Brigg Town Council election is now some way behind us and we think it's time to reflect on former councillors who are no longer on the authority.
Coun The Rev Alec Depledge did not seek re-election and retired. However, Couns John Kitwood, Jenny Bell, Lesley Whitehand, Jackie Brock, Andrew Markham, Chris Dyson and Edward Arnott put their names forward - all being unsuccessful when townsfolk when to the polls.
Their length of service vary but collectively add up to many, many years. Some have chaired Town Council committees and there are ex-Mayors among them.
Brigg Blog will miss seeing them all during meetings and reporting their comments. The twon should be grateful for the services they rendered to the community, in an unpaid capacity.
That being said, we are looking forward very much to covering meetings of today's Town Council with its influx of new members, some of whom we already knew .
