NEWS FLASH: BRIGG COUNCIL ON TRACK WITH NEW SAFETY MEASURE


Brigg Town Council members are being asked to approve the purchase of a flashing speed sign to improve road safety, and also decide its location.
This is among items to be discussed during the authority's next meeting on Tuesday, September 22, from 7.15pm.
With Coronavirus emergency restrictions on gatherings still in place, this session will be a 'virtual' one, with councillors and staff logging on at home via the Zoom facility.
Councillors on Monday evening will also be asked to agree the purchase of new public benches alongside the River Ancholme.
Additional approval is being sought for a project involving shop fronts within the town centre. A verbal report is expected from Coun Rob Waltham, who is the Leader of North Lincolnshire Council and also a member of the town authority.
PICTURED: A flashing speed sign in operation in Brigg. These signs have appeared locally from time to time on a temporary basis before being moved on to other locations. Beside the A18 on Ancholme Way has proved a popular location in the past.
