BEACON AND SEATING TO BE INSTALLED IN BRIGG

Preparatory work is continuing to install a tall metal beacon in Brigg on the Millennium Green, off Elwes Street. It will be lit to commemorate major events, including royal anniversaries.
Brigg Town Council is making arrangements to install this feature on the grassy mound/centrepiece. It cares for and maintains the year 2000 project Green - originally managed by a trust.
Nearby, on Cadney Road, the council is to provide a new public bench to replace an old one which is life-expired.
This seat will be made from recycled materials - a hard-wearing design which has proved successful at other locations, including land near the Old Courts Road traffic lights and close to the junction of Eastfield Road and Wrawby Road. These benches are now favoured ahead of traditional wooden ones - much less maintenance being required.
The Town Council's handyman service will be assigned to install the bench on Cadney Road.
Brigg has been without a ceremonial beacon since both examples were removed from Station Road, near Hewson House, some years ago. They were located close to mature trees.

North Lincolnshire Council's library service is to hold a Peter Rabbit-themed event centred on the Millennium Green during local schools' Easter holiday in early April.
