The popularity of a new outdoor table tennis facility in Brigg looks like leading to its relocation elsewhere on the Davy Memorial Park - further away from nearby housing. It's set to move.
The free-to-use table was provided some weeks ago by Brigg Town Council on the edge of the play area near Kings Avenue.
Coun Rob Waltham told the council's latest meeting (held on Tuesday night) that the table was being really used, but being close to residential property he suggested to colleagues that it would be better to move it to where the boundary hedging was thicker. This task could be undertaken by the council's handyman service.
He suggested the council should agree in principle to relocate the table and hold a site visit to agree the best spot.
Coun Waltham described it as a really wonderful facility.
Coun Penny Smith pointed out that water can collect on some areas of the park.
Youngsters requested the table's installation on the park, but some adults are also using it.
The table will need to remain clear of the football pitch, with goalposts, where kick-about games are enjoyed.
The school summer holidays are always a busy period for this park and for others across the town which have a range of play equipment.
