GOOD NEWS FOR PROPOSED 'DRINKING ESTABLISHMENT' IN BRIGG

There's good news for ale lovers in Brigg as a result of councillors' discussions held last night (Tuesday, July 26).
Consulted about a licensed 'drinking establishment' proposed for 11A Market Place (adjoining Coney Court), Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee raised no objections to three applications.
The town authority's views on the Bottle Shop & Micro Pub will now be forwarded to North Lincolnshire Council which will make final decisions in each case.
The applications seeking approval are:

• Premises licence (The Bottle Box Ltd).
• Planning permission for change of use from a florist's shop to a drinking establishment.
• Listed building consent for this change of use at 11A Market Place.

Proposed hours for the supply of alcohol for consumption on and off the premises are Monday to Sunday, 11am and 11pm.
During last night's committee meeting, held in the Angel Suite Lounge, Town Mayor Coun Brian Parker said: "The building needs using."
Coun Sharon Riggall, chairing the discussions, said a similar venture was already operating in Beverley with many others elsewhere, searches on Google indicated.
Coun Jane Kitching hoped subsequent arrangements would ensure noise was minimised from any glass bottles put out for collection and taken away for recycling.
Coun Ann Eardley had misgivings about the size of the premises for this proposed use, and also about how deliveries would be undertaken.
The Town Council committee agreed, by a majority vote, not to object to any of the applications on which they were being consulted.
In addition to the shop area facing the Market Place, rooms behind (parallel to Coney Court) will form an integral part of the proposed facility.
Seating will be available on the premises, with a bar, toilet and cloakroom provision  included.
