NEW MEASURES APPROVED TO COMBAT SPEEDING IN BRIGG

Brigg is to get two permanent 'flashing' roadside signs to encourage drivers to stay within the speed limit.
They will be the first fixed displays of this kind in the town and are to be erected on Wrawby Road and Bigby High Road - the exact locations to be confirmed at a later date, following consultations with the highway authority.
During its latest meeting, Brigg Town Council agreed to buy two signs and arrange for them to be positioned on the A18 and the A1084 - the town's busiest roads.
Previous 'flashing' signs seen from time to time in Brigg have only been temporary - three months being the maximum stay before they have to be relocated elsewhere in North Lincolnshire.
Coun Rob Waltham said the Town Council needed to address what he called the two worst speeding areas in Brigg.
Coun Ann Eardley called for additional action to be taken to tackle speeding along Atherton Way - a road leading to Brigg Primary School and the Vale Academy.
She noted that some drivers "just put their foot down" along the straight stretch.
Coun Waltham, the Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, noted her concerns and suggested the road could be monitored.
