FLYING THE FLAG IN BRIGG

We are delighted to see the Union Jack flag flying proudly on the poll outside Brigg police station. Thousands of drivers are passing it along the A18.
We presume it's been run up the flagpole to mark the Queen's 90th birthday, for which events will be going on across North Lincolnshire and the UK over the  next few weeks. The actual date was Thursday, as most people know. It's also St George's Day today.
Brigg police station may no longer be a base for neighbourhood policing but it's good to see that the long-standing tradition of flying the flag on suitable occasions continues.
The Barnard Avenue police station was built in 1978, replacing the original Victorian one in Wrawby Street, next to the courthouse (latterly converted into living accommodation). 
What would you think about a sizeable flagpole being sited in the Market Place?
Could Brigg do with a patriotic centre-piece actually in the town centre?

Hi,
I hope you are aware your email account was hacked this week? I would send you an email, but it seemed futile!
