BRIGG TO FLY THE FLAG FOR LINCOLNSHIRE - OUR GREAT COUNTY

Brigg is to fly the flag for historic Lincolnshire, as a tribute to our great county.
The Town Council has allocated funds in its budget for the 2021/22 financial year, beginning in April, to erect new flagpoles on the Buttercross and the Angel building - both in the Market Place.
These additions will permit the Lincolnshire and Union Jack flags to be flown when appropriate.
Coun Rob Waltham suggested these new poles during the council's budget-setting session held last night (Tuesday, January 26).
Brigg Blog has previously pointed out, or even flagged up, the fact that relatively little is done in the north of the historic county to mark Lincolnshire Day on October 1 - when compared with Lincoln and more southerly communities, large and small
So we are very pleased to see that the county flag may well be prominent in the town centre this autumn.
Hopefully, this will result in many more local people buying and eating Lincolnshire food like sausages, haslet and plum bread to celebrate our county day.
Local schools might also take up this theme to ensure the young generation knows about Lincolnshire's rich history as England's second largest county.
