BOTH BRIGG PETROL STATIONS BEING REFURBISHED AT THE SAME TIME


Drivers in Brigg wishing to top up with fuel yesterday (Wednesday, January 20) found temporary no entry barriers present at entrances to both the town's petrol stations, which were closed temporarily to motorists.
Tesco had shut its facility off Barnard Avenue for improvements on Monday, and yesterday the Esso station on Bridge Street followed suit. We took this picture of the latter, known as the Brigg Service Station, early on Wednesday afternoon.
Normal service appeared to have resumed at the Bridge Street facility when we passed by on the A18 very early this morning (Thursday) but the barriers were still in place at Tesco's fuel stop.
A Tesco spokesperson told us on Monday this week: “The petrol station at our Brigg Superstore is undergoing maintenance and renovation to ensure a better experience for all our customers. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused but it will be back open within two weeks."
North Lincolnshire Council granted planning permission to the Motor Fuel Group to raise the existing canopy over the Bridge Street petrol station, including associated works. Approval was given in November 2019 with a condition that work must start within three years.
