BRIGG MEETING 'FILLED IN' ABOUT TACKLING POTHOLES IN THE MONTHS AHEAD

Brigg Town Council's latest meeting was 'filled in' about a new machine which will be tackling potholes.
Coun Nigel Sherwood made reference to the vehicle while North Lincolnshire Council's three Brigg & Wolds Ward representatives were updating Town colleagues about unitary authority topics of local relevance.
North Lincolnshire Council has since announced a shortlist of seven names now being considered for its new pothole-tackling vehicle.
A light-hearted competition is being held to select the name to be displayed on the machine.

Brigg Blog has flagged up the need to deal with potholes along Queen Street and also the adjoining eastern end of Wrawby Street near the China Garden takeaway and Wetherspoon's White Horse pub & restaurant.
While this work is being done, there will be some unavoidable disruption for motorists, although Garden Street could provide a useful diversion when the northern end of Queen Street receives attention.

Coun Carl Sherwood reported on new signage to help people identify the location of the Community Hub and the Library in the Market Place's Angel building.
