BRIGG GARDENING AND FLOWER LOVERS TAKE NOTE

Brigg in Bloom, which receives welcome support from the Town Council, is set to receive additional new planters, to be filled with flowers. Bridge Street has been suggested as one part of the town that might benefit.
Brigg in Bloom, run by volunteers, was badly affected by the Coronavirus emergency this year but it's hoped things will be back to normal in 2021, with colourful tubs and planters.
Some town centre business premises have continued to display hanging baskets.
September usually sees the culmination of Brigg Town Council's annual best-kept garden and allotments competition, but 2020's was cancelled because of the emergency. So there are no trophies and certificates to present in conjunction with sponsor Brigg Garden Centre at a ceremony hosted by the Town Mayor as part of the first citizen's appeal fund in aid of charity.
Brigg and District Gardening Club informs Brigg Blog that "due to the ongoing situation" its meeting scheduled to be held on Thursday, October 1 has now been cancelled.
Brigg Town Council's September meeting heard that no further progress has been made in creating new allotments. The town authority is working with North Lincolnshire Council to create a site on park of Woodbine Park, near South View Avenue, to replace the plots off Grammar School Road. Existing allotments on Atherton Way/Redcombe Lane will be unaffected.
The emergency period is again a factor in delaying the new site on Woodbine Park - occupied by an extensive estate of prefab housing until the early 1970s.
