MORE DECORATIVE ARCHES COMING TO BRIGG TOWN CENTRE'S SHOPPING AREA


Additional decorative arches are earmarked for the main shopping area in Brigg town centre.
Phase one metal arches were erected some months ago and now a list of others has been drawn up by the Town Council.
During the authority's June meeting, the following were discussed with a view to installation:
CONEY COURT: Only one arch is proposed - at the the Market Place entrance - near Molly's flower shop. There is not intended to be another at the Wilko store end of the alleyway - visible in the distance in the view above.
CHAPEL COURT: Adjacent to Newell's shop.
CRESSEY YARD: Next to the Isn't She Lovely fashion premises.


MORLEY'S YARD: Near the Oxfam Book Shop. Note the inclusion of the apostrophe. Pictured here as it looks today.
EXCHANGE PLACE/ANGEL CAR PARK: Designs yet to be drawn up.
Money for the second phase has been allocated in the council's current budget to fund the creation and installation of the arches once a final shortlist has been approved.
The arches - existing and proposed - point the way for shoppers and visitors between the main car parks and the town centre along alleyways and courtyards, many of which feature small businesses.
Most of the arches relate to footfall from the Old Courts Road car park, but phase two also recognises that some town centre visitors opt to leave their vehicles behind the Angel.
