COMMUNITY NEAR BRIGG PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

Brigg councillors and volunteers worked hard some years ago to draw up a Neighbourhood Plan - an official blueprint indicating how the community want to see the town develop in the future, including housing provision, leisure and public transport.
Worlaby - a pretty village in the Lincolnshire Wolds on the edge of Brigg Blog's area - is now undertaking the same task.
When local authorities like North Lincolnshire Council are considering proposed developments, they need to take Neighbourhood Plans into account. So these are important documents when it come to town and country planning.
Worlaby (pictured) is among local villages which are served by the Vicar of Brigg, although this post has been vacant for many months since Father Owain Mitchell moved to take charge of a parish in Derbyshire.
While reporting for the Brigg-based Lincolnshire & South Humberside Times, we covered many Worlaby stories, some of which involved trips to the village's interestingly named Wishing Well pub (since demolished). 

More recently we've been to a few of the ploughing tournaments held at Northwold Farm, Worlaby Top - between Brigg and Barton.
