BRIGG PROJECT EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED NEXT YEAR


Plans to plant an extensive hedge on the boundary of the main car park in Brigg are growing to fruition.
It will replace the current rather patchy shrubs (pictured) and look more attractive than what is currently seen by visitors and shoppers who park their vehicles.
Brigg Town Council is pressing ahead with the scheme on Old Courts Road and will be liaising with the North Lincolnshire authority which operates the car park.
Coun Rob Waltham told Tuesday night's Town Council meeting that an appropriate type of hedging needed to be chosen. He suggested they might budget up to £1,000, with planting to be undertaken next year.
Coun Waltham's idea of a small working group of councillors to look at this project in detail was agreed.
It will comprise Town Mayor Coun Brian Parker, Coun Sharon Riggall and Coun Jane Kitching.
The council is also looking to buy and install another large three-tier flower-filled planter within the pedestrian area.
