BRIGG ANNIVERSARY OF NOTE

Brigg Bandstand, in the centre of the Market Place, will be 20 years old next year.
It was a project for the new millennium formulated by the District Civic Society and was completed and opened in 2001.
Following the society's eventual demise, Brigg Town Council took over caring for the centrepiece which is getting a spruce up at present.
Councillors were due to formally approve repainting during their latest monthly meeting held on Tuesday evening (November 24) but there was no need as the council's handyman service had already been assigned to the task, paid a visit and set to work with brushes.
Coun Ann Eardley pointed out that the circular inscribed metal plaque set in the floor of the bandstand required cleaning. She also suggested that weeds nearby should be removed.
When Brigg Blog passed by the following day, the plaque had been covered - perhaps suggesting the clean-up is already in hand.
The plaque, pictured above, lists some of those who backed the project, including the Singleton-Birch company of Melton Ross.
The bandstand - now such a familiar feature of the Market Place - is smaller than the design first suggested.
