CASH EARMARKED TO SUPPORT BRIGG SHOPPERS' BUS SERVICE


Brigg Town Council has earmarked funds in its budget to continue to support the town bus service during the next financial year beginning in April.
Also backed by North Lincolnshire Council, this long-established service tours town housing estates taking people to and from the shops. It is of particular use to elderly people and those with mobility issues.
A periodic review of the service is to be undertaken during the next few months.
The Town Council has also earmarked money for development of the Millennium Green, off Elwes Street. In addition to erecting a metal beacon (previously agreed) there are plans for fencing and wild flower planting.
The Town Council will continue to pay North Lincolnshire Council to open the Cary Lane toilets to the public on Sundays and bank holidays - something the town authority has funded for many years.
Money has been set aside to pay for further refurbishment/replacement of public seating in the town at various locations, with some more bins to be installed.
A wreath-holder will be purchased to contain the poppy tributes at the base of the Monument war memorial following Remembrance Sunday.
