SO MUCH FOR SHOWING CHRISTMAS SPIRIT IN BRIGG

Christmas humbug! The unwanted award for failing to show a bit of Christmas spirit must go to the Scooge-like van driver we saw on Christmas Eve pip his horn at a shopper with a bag-on-wheels who was blocking his path through supposedly vehicle-free Brigg town centre.
He was driving down Wrawby Street at the time, and she duly moved aside to let him past.
It's bad enough that some drivers feel the need to flout the rules by taking vehicles into the pedestrianised zone. But this took things to a new level.
We also observed another driver who'd parked his vehicle in the Market Place while he popped to the fruit and veg stall. It's good that he chose to make his purchase in Brigg. But as he was able to walk back to his car we aren't sure that disabled badge-holder applied in this case.
Both incidents were within view of the CCTV cameras, but we aren't confident any action will follow.
As Brigg Blog has said so many times before, the only want to stop drivers driving into the pedestrian area is to take them to task and hit them in the pocket. Once this is done to some offenders, it will deter many others.
