BRIGG 'TRUNK ROADS' VISIBLE TO ALL DRIVERS


Often it's the little things in Brigg that matter to the public.
The authorities can sometimes deliver major projects without these generating much discussion among residents. But then something that might be seen as minor proves to be a talking point.
In the latter category at this time of the year is the trimming back of sprouting foliage at the base of trees near well-used road junctions.
If left alone, the greenery makes it difficult for drivers emerging from nearby side roads to see approaching vehicles.
So it's good to see that, despite the Coronavirus emergency, time has been allocated to cut back foliage near the Queen Street/Garden Street and Bigby Road/St Helens Road junctions - to list a couple of examples (both seen here).
While taking the pictures yesterday afternoon we were reminded of the old phrase trunk road - usually indicated on maps and road signs as (T).
