CHANGES AHEAD FOR BRIGG ALLOTMENTS AND GRASS CUTTING

Tenants of the new allotments site in Brigg have met with representatives of the Town Council and the North Lincolnshire authority.
This meeting took place before the Coronavirus restrictions were put in place.
A new site is being established on part of Woodbine Park, close to South View Avenue but with access from Preston Drive.
It will replace existing allotments on Grammar School Road which are in an area earmarked for redevelopment by North Lincolnshire Council.
Brigg Town Council manages the allotments and charges plot-holders a modest annual rent.
Town Clerk Dinah Lilley told the council's March meeting that a well-attended meeting had taken place, with new plots discussed.
The council also provided allotments on Redcombe Lane/Atherton Way, which are unaffected by the changes being made elsewhere.
Some break-ins took place recently on the Redcombe Lane site; certain security measures have been put in place.
Grass-cutting arrangements for public land in Brigg will see the Town Council overseeing the cutting of the town's largest grassy area of public open space, York Road Field (pictured below) over the coming months.
North Lincolnshire Council has a policy of devolving grass cutting across its area to towns and parishes. 
However, Ongo - the local social landlord - will retain responsibility for cutting grass near some of its properties.
