PEOPLE KEEN FOR UPDATE ON HOUSING PLANNED FOR BRIGG

A number of local people over recent weeks have asked Brigg Blog what's happening with the proposed scheme to demolish well-known shop premises and replace them with three residential dwellings, a retail unit and garages for parking.
A planning application for the former Sherwood cycle shop (now in different ownership) and an adjoining property at 11-12 Bridge Street was made public on August 5. View details here...
As the New Year draws near, North Lincolnshire Council is still considering the application - no decision having yet been taken.
