WHEN WILL BRIGG CAFE BECOME NEW TAKEWAY?

Whenever we walk past this former cafe in Brigg Market Place we take a look for any signs of re-development taking place.

Last July, planning permission was granted for conversion to a takeaway specialising in hot chicken dishes. The applicant was from the south of the UK.

At the Annual Town Meeting this week, Jenny Bell, a former councillor, claimed this building "in the centre of Brigg" had become what she called "an eyesore" and suggested something needed to be done.

Coun Rob Waltham, deputy leader of North Lincolnshire Council, noted the comments made. He said the  building was not unsafe and had valid planning permission in place.

Brigg Blog likes the idea of a new chicken takeaway. It's some years since Simon Ho's premises in Bridge Street - opposite the China Royal - stopped serving such tasty fare. There is a definite gap in the market here for someone to fill.
