BRIGG STARTS THE PROCESS LEADING TO A NEW TOWN CENTRE ARCH

Brigg Town Council is to press ahead with another arch over one of the walkways in the town centre.
During the latest meeting, Coun Rob Waltham suggested this would be the last in a project undertaken in recent years.
The final arch is earmarked for Exchange Place between the Lord Nelson Hotel and the Angel building in the Market Place.
Town Clerk Kerry McGrath has been assigned to "start the process."
Once details have been finalised, the design will require a formal application being submitted to North Lincolnshire Council planners.
The arch will be within the Brigg Conservation Area.
Provision has been made in the Town Council's budget to fund the structure.
Others are already in place throughout the town centre, mostly on Wrawby Street or facing Old Courts Road.
The only arch in the Market Place at present is at the southern entrance to Coney Court.
Exchange Place led to the Corn Exchange, built in the mid-19th century and demolished in the 1990s having spent many decades as an events venue.
Many of the arches constructed as part of this project have motifs relating to their names, such as rabbits on Coney Court.
If the Exchange arch is to follow suit, a sheaf of corn might be included either side of the lettering.
