ACTION CALL OVER HISTORIC BUILDING IN BRIGG TOWN CENTRE


Brigg has some fine and historic listed buildings in its town centre, but the front entrance to one of them has been surrounded by scaffolding for many months without repair work being carried through to completion.
The current situation at St John's Church, on Bigby Street, was highlighted by Ian Smith, who lives locally, during the Public Participation section of Brigg Town Council's latest meeting.
Well-known for his hard work on behalf of the former Brigg Civic Society over many years, Ian called on the Town Council and North Lincolnshire Council to use their contacts to raise the issue with those elsewhere who are overseeing the work on the church, in an effort to get things resolved.
Ian prefaced his remarks about the church with a general observation about the town, saying: "Brigg is looking absolutely brilliant at the moment."
