DATE OF THE NEXT ELECTION IN BRIGG

The number of councillors serving on Brigg Town Council will be reduced from 19 to nine at the election to be held on Thursday, May 2 next year.
This follows a community governance review by North Lincolnshire Council, the local unitary authority.
At Brigg Town Council's latest monthly meeting (July 23, 2018) Coun Mike Campion noted that six current councillors had sent apologies for not attending.
Had this happened a year from now, he suggested, it would mean only three councillors being present - insufficient (under current rules) for proceedings to go ahead.
Due to the election, the then nine-strong Brigg Town Council will hold its next annual meeting in the Angel Suite on May 13, 2019.

Pictured above is Coun Brian Parker, Deputy Town Mayor, chairing his first monthly meeting of Brigg Town Council.
He was standing in for Town Mayor Coun Donald Campbell, who was unable to be present on Monday evening. Next to Coun Parker is the Town Clerk, Dinah Lilley.
Coun Parker passed on his congratulations to all those involved in Brigg in Bloom 2018, saying the town looked excellent with all its flowers.
Judges have now visited the town and Coun Sharon Riggall said she hoped Brigg would do well in a competition also entered in 2017. There had been a number of positives, including community group involvement.
No members of the public were present at the July council meeting and therefore no issues were raised during Public Question Time.
The agenda item Questions From Members saw Coun Ann Eardley complain about difficulties she had experienced in getting through to the police  by phone at weekends to raise some issues of concern in Brigg. Coun Rob Waltham offered to take this up with the force.
