COUNCIL SOON TWIGS BRIGG PROBLEM ON MAIN ROAD

There was a very quick response to a damaged tree in Brigg after part of it toppled into the carriageway on one of the town's busiest roads.
Branches were encroaching on the A1084, very close to the Monument roundabout.
Some passers-by, on foot, paused on Bigby Road to take a look.
However, North Lincolnshire Council was soon alerted to the problem, although we can't confirm this was done was by way of a TRUNK call!
The tree was then chopped off at the stump and the remains removed.
We noted the stricken tree at 6pm last Friday and by the next morning there was just the stump to be seen on the grass verge (pictured above).
A few days later, council workers were also in action midway along Albert Street, removing another tree.
North Lincolnshire Council has a policy of planting new trees to replace those lost.
Not only that, Brigg's Coun Rob Waltham (the authority's Leader) tells us. Five are planted somewhere in the district to replace each one that's gone.
Many Brigg residents will welcome this root and branch approach.
Avenues of mature trees have been much-admired features of Brigg for decades - Bigby Road, Wrawby Road and Cadney Road being prime examples.
