Brigg Blog joined a lengthy queue of people waiting to collect prescriptions from Riverside Surgery yesterday morning (Thursday, March 26). But that's not meant as a criticism during the current Coronavirus emergency.
New opening hours have been introduced at the pharmacy. It is closed daily from 10am to 11am, 1pm to 2pm, and again from 5pm to 6pm - with apologies tendered for any inconvenience.
We joined a queue of 15 people (all keeping a few metres apart) which stretched from the entrance, across the car park and onto the Barnard Avenue pavement.
There was a long wait to get from the rear of the queue to the dispensing counter.
Once there we thanked the hard-pressed staff and told them to keep up the good work.
MANY PEOPLE IN BRIGG SUPPORTED LAST NIGHT'S COUNTRYWIDE MASS CLAP TO SHOW THEIR BACKING AND APPRECIATION.
