ERA OF CHANGE

When Coun John Kitwood got to his feet to thank fellow Brigg town councillors for electing him the Deputy Town Mayor, he made some interesting points about the changes undertaken within the authority in the relatively few years since he was last in the same position.
He pointed out that rather than the Town Council meeting once a month to consider all issues, it now delegated much to various committees.
Coun Kitwood was in no doubt the Town Council now had a greatly increased workload, this being due, in part, to the fact the Civic Society and Chamber of Trade were no longer active.
