WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE TREES PLANTED IN BRIGG?


Brigg people are welcome to suggest areas of the town where they would like to see new trees planted.
Some sites were put forward by members of the Town Council during their latest meeting, with Coun Rob Waltham saying the public should now be consulted before drawing up a list of locations.
He suggested earmarking £1,000 to launch the initiative in Brigg, then working with local volunteers over planting the saplings.
Coun Jane Kitching proposed trees on Bridge Street, Bigby High Road and the cemetery extension.
Coun Ann Eardley suggested that trees on Birch Avenue could help deter vehicle parking on verges.
North Lincolnshire Council is planting thousands of trees across the district as part of a project.
