"Local knowledge" is a valuable asset for councillors. And new members of Brigg Town Council are offering some just a few weeks after taking up their seats.
During the latest meeting of the Planning & Environment Committee, reference was made to possible housing development, in the years ahead, at a site in Scawby Brook.
Couns Jane Gibbons and Brian Parker then chipped in useful "local knowledge" about a former caravan site and the ex-sugar factory sportsfield, the latter having suffered flooding from time to time down the decades.
The factory field has been untouched for years, while the former caravan site is seen as a possibilty for housing development.

Does Brigg need to be the master of its own destiny?
Future significant expansion of the town will occur outside Brigg's parish boundary
If has recently been reported that Cllr Jane Kitching wants appropriate 'infrastructure' before any development takes place.
Potential housing sites are in the parishes of Broughton and Wrawby, for example, and it will be these councils who will have direct responsibility for examining such proposals.
There is talk about local knowledge being useful, but should Brigg, in the wider concept as a township, have councils somewhat removed from the issues of Grammar School Road and Brigg schooling needs making direct representation about developments that obviously and intimately infringe on Brigg ?..
