Brigg is on course to get a new allotments site established so people can grow their own fruit and veg for the table.
The Town Council's February meeting heard things were "on track" for a starting date in early April.
The new allotments are to be created on an area of Woodbine Park near South View Avenue. They will replace long-established plots off Grammar School Road - this site having been earmarked for redevelopment.
Brigg Town Council will manage the Woodbine Park allotments, with tenants paying an annual rent.
The town authority has been working with North Lincolnshire Council on this project for many months.
Coronavirus emergency restrictions have not helped, but interested parties were eventually invited to tender for a contract to carry out the preparatory on-site spadework.
Brigg Town Council also has allotments on Atherton Way/Redcombe Lane; these plots are unaffected by the site switch on the edge of the Springbank housing estate.
