NEW BRIGG ROUNDABOUT ON ITS WAY

A Brigg children’s playground is to get a new piece of equipment for youngsters to enjoy.
A dish roundabout is be installed at the Davy Memorial Playground – paid for by money from the Brigg Town Mayor’s Appeal Fund and the Town Council.
Coun Ben Nobbs held various fundraising initiatives during his year in office as Town Mayor, which ended in May.
The proceeds were split, and more than £800 has already been presented to the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance.
Coun Nobbs had intended to use the remainder to fund additional equipment at the Almond Grove “Donkey Field” play area. But money for improving that facility is now expected from another source.
So now the Davy Memorial field, between Bigby Road and King’s Avenue, will benefit instead.
There was not quite enough cash left in the fund to pay outright for the dish roundabout, so Brigg Town Council has decided to chip in the necessary £159.
Proposing that top-up should be made available, Deputy Town Mayor Coun Carl Sherwood said of the equipment: “The children of Brigg will be pleased with it and use it.”
He thanked the town’s former first citizen for his efforts.
A suitable site on the Davy Memorial Playground has already been identified for the new piece of equipment.

A dish-roundabout....isn't it one of those saucer-shaped contraption that is able to rotate, at the same time swing back and forth on a central spring?
It sounds 'orribly sickly...like sitting in coracle in a violent storm!
The kids will love it!!
