PLANS TO PROVIDE MORE BRIGG PLAY EQUIPMENT ON THE TABLE


Brigg Town Council has reacted to a request from young residents and put money in its budget for the 2021/22 financial year to provide more play equipment on one of our local parks.
An outdoor table tennis table is being suggested for the Davy Memorial Field between Bigby Road and Kings Avenue (features of which are pictured above).
Coun Rob Waltham told Tuesday night's budget-setting session that 10 youngsters had requested the installation of a table. He pointed out that not all young people were interested in playing football.
The table will be of a sturdy all-weather design and suitable for outdoor use.
Councillors are expected to discuss this project in detail at a future meeting.
The Town Council recently paid for, and installed, a replacement set of football goalposts on the Davy field, while North Lincolnshire Council provided a new slide last September.
Also placed in the 2021/22 Town Council budget is a grant towards the provision of a new Brigg 3G all-weather sports pitch to be sited at Sir John Nelthorpe School. It will be available for community use. Discussions are expected to be held with the Football Association also involved.
Also included in Brigg's town budget for the next financial year is provision of outdoor gym equipment near the riverbank and on the Millennium Green.
