UNUSUAL BRIGG TASK AHEAD FOR COUNCIL LEADER

Brigg councillor Rob Waltham, pictured above, carries out many duties, makes major decisions and oversees a multi-million pound budget as the leader of North Lincolnshire Council.
But as an ordinary member of Brigg Town Council he gets called upon, from time to time, to undertake  more unusual tasks, though still ones of importance to the local community.
Although he attends the vast majority of the Town Council's monthly meetings in the Angel Suite, Coun Rob could not make the October one.
However, in his absence, he was nominated for a one-off job - taking part in an audit of all the litter bins dotted about  Brigg!
Coun Jane Kitching suggested the count-up, saying they needed to know the exact locations and whether the bins were being emptied often enough by North Lincolnshire Council.
There were some complaints, for example, about litter bins in the town centre being full on Saturdays.
"We want a clean town," she stressed. "We want it to be attractive."
Coun Mike Campion felt it was a case of  "the more bins the better" but pointed out that if North Lincolnshire Council emptied the bins, it must surely know all the locations.
Coun  Ann Eardley said there was  real need for additional bins along Atherton Way, due to the  number of lorries currently being parking there by drivers.
Town Mayor Coun Sharon Riggall suggested that dog waste bins should also be included in the audit.
It was agreed that Couns Kitching, Waltham and Brian Parker should carry out the audit.
Brigg Blog recently suggested there's a need to replace the litter bin removed months ago from a lamp-post near the Monument, but never replaced.
It is passed by many  who have bought takeaways while walking home after a night spent visiting Brigg pubs.
Brigg Blog having declared a personal interest, could that go on the councillors' list, please?
