WORK COMPLETED AT BRIGG BUTTERCROSS

 


The completion of work inside Brigg's historic Buttercross was reported to the Town Council's latest meeting by Coun Rob Waltham.
He is the Leader of the North Lincolnshire Council and was giving the monthly report on unitary authority issues to Town Council colleagues.
Coun Waltham confirmed the internal work had now finished, but Covid-related restrictions remained an issue when it came to providing printed material to the public.
A North Lincolnshire Council spokesman told Brigg Blog in mid-January: "The Buttercross is being refurbished at the moment for a tourism hub."
Brigg Blog has been keeping a close eye on the ground floor improvements over recent weeks. Carpets have been fitted by a local company, redecoration has taken place and display stands positioned.
Late last year it was thought Lindsey Lodge Hospice might move into the Tourist Information Centre premises, following the closure of its charity shop on Wrawby Street. It was thought tourism would then move into the nearby Angel building. However, the Hospice shop's relocation did not take place.
