WORTHY NOMINATIONS FOR FREEMAN OF BRIGG HONOUR

Freeman Tom and Maureen Glossop

FROM KEN HARRISON

Brigg Town Council created precedence some years ago and made a very deserving candidate, Tom Glossop, a Freeman of the town.
A grand gesture that recognised Tom's hard work and devotion to Brigg.
But are there others, presently in the shadows, who could qualify to be seriously considered to be similarly recognised?
Personally, I would suggest, at least, two town-folk - Tom's wife, Maureen; a major force   in the past for organising the Poppy Appeal, as well as her unselfish work with the Senior Citizens' group.  Similarly, we have a quiet man and gentleman, Tony Parker, our voluntary footpath warden. His coordination with NLC has maintained that the extensive network of public footpaths about Brigg and district are accessible to all to enjoy.
I certain that neither Maureen, nor Tony has sought public recognition, but this should not deter BTC from assuming the initiative and to consider such town people as potential Freemen of Brigg.
N.F. adds: The term "Freeman" seems to be applied to female holders of this title.
