Tackling litter in Brigg dominated a public meeting held last night (Tuesday, April 27) with new measures to be taken to deal with discarded cigarette ends like those picture above which are proving a drag when it comes to keeping the town centre pavements tidy.
There were various references to litter prevention and collection during the Annual Town Meeting held online using the Zoom platform, with members of the public logging in for the discussions.
The commitment shown by a host of community-minded volunteers who carry out litter-picking sessions at various locations was highlighted and it was stressed that suitable equipment is being made available to help them.
Members of Brigg Town Council, which arranged this once-a-year public forum, also indicated the authority's commitment to deal with cigarette ends discarded on pavements outside some local pubs.
The council agreed many months ago to provide special bins outside some hostelries.
Although this provision has been delayed by pubs being in enforced lockdown (until recently) the council intends to talk with licensees to get these bins installed.
Coun Rob Waltham said it would required pubs' agreement "and they have not been open." But smokers had to take responsibility for their own actions. The fact that a bin might not be available nearby was no excuse for discarding cigarette ends.
Coun Ann Eardley also stressed that they should not be discarded into drain grates across the town; this was unacceptable.
There was also reference to chewing gum being discarded on local pavements.
Brigg Blog adds that all licensed premises provide ashtrays for their customers, and some also have bins near their frontages.
However, as Coun Waltham rightly pointed out, those who have finished their 'fags' need to ensure the remains do not end up on the pavement.
Pubs have only been permitted to reopen on a limited basis so far - serving drinks outdoors. Full service resumpton is expected to be approved by the Government in mid-May.

Good day everyone, If getting herpes cure was that easy then why do a lot of people still suffer from herpes?. i was diagnosed of herpes back in 2017 and i was also told it has no cure, i have been leaving with it since then, but i kept praying and doing everything possible to get cured, so i never stopped doing research about finding a cure, i came across testimonies about people getting cured through herbal medication, and i have always believe in herbs and its medical properties, after doing so many research about it i found Dr. Oriane and i discovered he was a professional in herbal medication and he has also helped many people, , we talked on his email and i confirmed he was genuine, i did all what he told me to do, i received the medicine, used it as he has prescribed, and glory be to God almighty i am completely cured, i went back to my doctor to confirm it. Do not be deceived THERE IS A CURE FOR HERPES, doctors might tell you there is no cure but WITH HERBAL MEDICATION THERE IS A CURE and if you need it contact him , via on: droriane6@gmail.com
