Brigg's landmark Buttercross is being refurbished as a tourism hub, with decoration and fitting out of the ground floor being undertaken.
Coun Carl Sherwood told Brigg Town Council's latest meeting that the refurbishment was nearing completion. The building belongs to North Lincolnshire Council, of which he is a cabinet member.
Some months ago there were suggestions that Lindsey Lodge Hospice would be establishing a charity shop within the Buttercross after closing its outlet on Wrawby Street, but this did not proceed.
Brigg's award-winning Tourist Information Centre became established in the Buttercross during the 1990s.
Amid lockdown, news is awaited from the council about when the tourism hub will be in a position to provide a service to the public.
