KEY POSTS FOR BRIGG COUNCILLORS


Brigg councillors will hold key posts on North Lincolnshire Council over the next 12 months.
At the unitary authority's annual meeting, Coun Rob Waltham was again re-elected as Leader.
Coun Carl Sherwood continues as a member of the managing cabinet with responsibility for rural areas, while his brother Coun Nigel Sherwood remains chairman of the planning committee.

They all represent the Brigg & Wolds Ward on the authority.
In addition, Brigg-born Coun Peter Clark, who now lives in Barrow-on-Humber, has been installed as North Lincolnshire's Mayor for the next 12 months. He is one of the Ferry Ward representatives.
A former resident of Mill Lane in Brigg and educated in the town, Coun Peter has now become the only person to be the Mayor of North Lincolnshire three times.
Those people who attended Brigg Town Council's latest meeting, held in the Methodist Church, were informed of these appointments just a few hours after they had been made.

North Lincolnshire Council's Chief Executive, Denise Hyde, intends to retire from her post later this year, after almost five years. She has worked for the authority, in various roles, since its creation in 1996.
