BRIGG & DISTRICT MIDWEEK UPDATES ON A RANGE OF TOPICS

Brigg people will soon be able to enjoy a wide range of meals at a local bar & restaurant following the appointment of a chef.
A full meals service will be available at The Millfield, Castlethorpe, from Friday, August 26.
Brigg Blog was invited to the launch night in late April, following which the bar opened to the public with limited food available.
The Millfield management now say they have found their perfect chef.
Booking tables is highly recommended for those planning to sample the menu - details of which will be announced "in due course."
The Millfield is located on Wressle Road, Castlethorpe, close to the A18, at DN20 9LF. The former Arties Mill premises have been lavishly refurbished.

TAKE NOTICE: A new Brigg Town Council noticeboard has been installed adjoining Bigby Road (the A1084) not far from the Monument roundabout.
Many pedestrians pass by this spot, including folk exercising their pets.
Initially, this board displayed contact details for our Brigg & Wolds Ward unitary authority representatives and a poster advertising a forthcoming event.
Further information of interest to the public will follow, in due course.
Traditional noticeboards like this are common in nearby villages - an example being Scawby parish's located near the entrance to the former sugar factory sportsground on Scawby Road.
Brigg Town Council has also moved with the technological times. Some months ago it gained use of a 'rolling scroll' digital noticeboard to display information on screen at the rear of the Angel building.

OFFLINE: We've been informed that a couple from Worksop, in Nottinghamshire, came to Brigg by car for last weekend's food festival and really enjoyed their visit. However, they would have preferred arriving here and returning home by train. The passenger service they could have used was suspended by the operating company in January due to Covid-related staffing issues and has yet to resume. A review of the situation is expected in December.

LIVING SPACE: Planning permission is being sought from North Lincolnshire Council to erect a two-storey rear extension, including demolition of an existing conservatory, at 15 The Rookery, Scawby. Planners have yet to rule on this application.
