NEW BRIGG STORE, OLD BRIGG ISSUE


Lorries are still parking up at night near what's now the B&M store in Brigg.
Most of the HGV drivers are using the expansive car park at the back. 
However, two or three lorries can  be seen squeezing onto a narrow stretch of road near Tesco. This runs from the Cary Lane turning circle to the B&M store entrance.
The result is that two lanes become only one. Car driving customers trying to visit B&M, the off-licence or the fast food outlet next door in the evenings are often encountering on-coming traffic. And one driver, or the other, must then give way. 
Given the nature of this road, the issue is probably outside the remit of the highway authority. 
But is it asking too much for those lorry drivers who visit Brigg at night to show a little thought and consideration for other road users?
