HELPING TO KEEP BRIGG STREETS TIDY

Brigg Town Council's recent decision to employ a handyperson is already paying off.
The authority's July meeting heard that areas of the town, including some alleyways, were being tidied up and overflowing litter bins empties.
Members of the public and councillors can report any issues they see, with a view to these being assessed and possibly assigned to the handyperson for action.
This is in addition to the street cleaning carried out by North Lincolnshire Council.
Meanwhile, efforts continue to form litter-picking groups involving members of the public and councillors clearing up parts of the town from time to time.
Volunteers are currently needed for some streets on the Springbank and St Helen's estates, Coun Sharon Riggall reported at the council's July meeting.
Those interested in giving up a few hours of their time should email enquiries@briggmarkettown.co.uk
Sadly, the Millennium Green, off Elwes Street, has suffered some incidents of anti-social behaviour.
Coun Carl Sherwood said the issue had been raised with the Brigg & Wolds Neighbourhood Action Team. This involves the police, councillors and other groups.
