WHY BRIGG TOWN CENTRE ADDITION APPEARED & DISAPPEARED

North Lincolnshire Council has explained why a thick white line painted on the pavement near the entrance to the Tourist Information Centre in the town centre was quickly removed.
Red and white cones were in place for some days outside the Buttercross while this was taking place. So Brigg Blog sought clarification.
A spokesman for North Lincolnshire Council, which is the highway authority and owner of the Buttercross, said: "The step had been identified as a potential trip hazard so a white line was due to be painted along the edge, similar to the one painted on the deep kerb at the Wrawby Street/Queen Street junction. 
"However, when it was painted, due to the foggy and generally wet weather, it took longer than expected to dry and some pedestrians ignored adjacent signs and walked through the wet paint.
"We got the graffiti removal team down to clear off the paint from the step and surrounding pavement and will look again at painting the step in future when the weather improves."
The Buttercross - once visited by Lady Diana, The Princess of Wales - is a grade two listed building which is almost 200 years old and within the Conservation Area.
