HOST OF POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT BRIGG MENTIONED AT THE ANNUAL TOWN MEETING

Brigg Town Mayor Coun Sharon Riggall highlighted a range of positive things while delivering her report to the Annual Town Public Meeting.
Among those  mentioned were local business success, the Lions' support for the Christmas Fair, Brigg Heritage Centre, local schools, redecorating the Tintab shelter, transfer of the Millennium Green to the Town Council, Brigg in Bloom and plans to refurbish the Monument war memorial.
She also mentioned the decision to change the time of Remembrance Sunday in November 2018 - moving things forward one hour to bring Brigg into line with many other towns.
Ex-serviceman Charles Brindley, one of five members of the public attending the meeting, thanked the Town Council for that.
Coun Rob Waltham then delivered his North Lincolnshire Council report, being the leader of the unitary authority as well as a member of Brigg Town Council.
He said resurfacing various roads on the St Helen's housing estate would be undertaken, while work had started on a further section of the Ancholme Way footpath and cycle track to eventually link Brigg with South Ferriby.
He said the Buttercross, in the Market Place, pictured above, would be repainted in readiness for its 200th anniversary next year and outlined plans to improve bus shelter provision on Cary Lane.
An "exciting project" was in store at Sir John Nelthorpe School to refurbish an area of the Grammar School Road site, details having been outlined at the recent annual dinner of the Briggensians' Association.
