"ANOMOLIES" CONSIDERED


Tonight's monthly meeting of Brigg Town Council - in the Angel Suite from 7.30pm - looks set to provide some interesting items.
Consideration will be given to "anomalies" which see some homes we might class as being in Brigg actually being in neighbouring parishes.
Town councillors will also have to consider their response to North Lincolnshire's Housing and Land Allocations Development Plan - Pre-Submission Consultation - Second Stage.
Cutting through the council jargon, this is the shortlist of areas where the planners might encourage housing development. Expect York Road 'field' (pictured) to be one of the more controversial.
If you are planning to go along to the meeting, note there will be a 15-minute period available for public questions prior to the start.

Nige,
If this is the case, then residents, and village councillors, from the 'other parishes' should have been invited to the Brigg Town Council meeting.
Living in Wrawby, for example, I could attend, but I would not be allowed to voice my opinions, should such a need arise.
Therefore, I would suggest that, if the meeting has not been declared an open meeting for the 'other parishes' to voice their concerns, then any decisions that the Town Council make affecting the 'other parishes' would be invalid.

Shall I suggest to Brigg Town Council and NLC that York Road would make an ideal permanent gypsy site - friendly neighbours, open space, main drains and water nearby with areas for open fires, lorry repairs and for the tethering and grazing of horses?

Tongue-in-cheek, honest, Nige!!
