Brigg Town Council suspended its latest online meeting so councillors, staff and members of the public in attendance could observe the national one-minute's silence in memory of all the people who have died over the past year due to the Covid-19 virus.
Town Mayor Coun Sharon Riggall led the tribute at 8pm - midway through the 'virtual' meeting held on Tuesday, March 23 - one year since the start of the emergency and the initial lockdown period being introduced.
Later in the meeting, Coun Rob Waltham, the Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, spoke about the opening of a new vaccination centre in Scunthorpe which will eventually be able to carry out 1,000 daily anti-Covid vaccinations.
This facility is available to people from our area, while medical staff continue to administer injections within Brigg.
