SHOWCASING BRIGG TO VISITORS WITH NEW BOARD NEAR WETHERSPOON'S




A new public information board is to be installed, telling visitors to Brigg about places of interest and indicating where to find them.
The board is earmarked for an area of stone paving near the turn from Wrawby Street into Queen Street (pictured here at the top).
The design will be the same as those already positioned on the Angel and Old Courts Road public car parks (seen above).
Brigg Town Council will be funding and arranging the latest addition.
A site visit will now be made to pinpoint the most suitable spot to erect the board.
This was agreed at the authority's latest meeting held on Tuesday, when councillors also considered a Notice Board Policy.
New boards, displaying posters and other information, have recently been erected at various locations across the town (one on Bigby High Road being pictured below).
The council has also drawn up and agreed a policy for using the Bandstand, in the Market Place, which it looks after.  Community and charitable groups will be welcome.
Inquiries about the notice boards and using the Bandstand should be made to the council - email enquiries@briggmarkettown.co.uk
It has an office in the Angel building, in the Market Place.
The latest lectern-style information board, once installed, may well reduce off-road parking of vehicles on the high-grade York stone paving. When laid down many years ago, the paving was intended for pedestrians.
