EXTENSION PAYS DIVIDENDS

By Ken Harrison

It may be worth mentioning the newly opened shopping extension of Brian's DIY emporium.
Reclaiming the bricks from the demolished C19th workmen's cottages behind his cement and plaster shed, Brian has constructed the extension - joining his store with his Christmas shop in Grammar School Road South - to reflect traditional external features.
Brian says that there is more to do to outside side entrance, which he hopes will be completed in the near future.
Personally, I have always regarded Brian's DIY prices as very competitive. For example, I was pricing up the cost of a flexible soil pipe for an upstairs toilet. One major plumbing store informed me that, at trade, the price would be over £21; I discovered the same item in Brian's at about £13.50.
Once the external hoardings have been removed and the access has been complete, it may be worth Brigg Town Council reviewing the extension as a candidate for a Civic Award.
