Brigg Life frontpage 2 April 2006
Policing meetingOn Tuesday (4th April) there will be a Public Police community liaison meeting (7pm - The Angel Suite, Market Place). All are welcome to come along and talk to the local bobbies. It is - obviously - in everyone's interest to fully support the work of the Police; so everyone is encouraged to come along and make a positive contribution to making Brigg a better and safer place to live. |
Re: NorwebWhat started out as a simple request for more information about a grandfather clock which was manufactured in Brigg by Norweb the watchmaker, has turned into a tale of romance and betrayal. The Norweb family were part of the aristocracy until circumstances forced them into poverty and the poorhouse in Brigg. |

Jackson printersI am the great-grand daughter of Henry Jackson who was the last in line of several generations of the Jackson family who ran a Stationary, Publishing and Printing business in Brigg, which went out of business around 1910. Any information at all of the family and their business (especially the Brigg almanacs) would be greatly appreciated as would anything relating to Henry's daughter, Muriel, who was born in 1900.

Take your hat off to your refuse collectors!
Bonjour! I have just been reading the Scnthorpe Telegraph and like to comment on the "RUBBISH" collectors!
Two weeks is a life time for ones dustbin to be treated with hygienic respect! Do as we have to do in France! We are supplied here in the village with plastic bags from the council and such great pleasure of sorting each and every item out! Plastic (one bag) Tins(one bag) it goes on and on! Yet to my knowledge nobody complains!
If you want a clean country: then keep it clean! We see on television these poor countries who live in squalor and filth which are so heart rending, Children spending hours each day on heaps of other peoples rubbish and maybe months of dustbin thrown out food!
I say STOP! Respect those who live on dustbin food! Do they have a refuse collector coming once every two weeks? THINK? ... My husband and I passed at the back of some street in Scnthorpe 4yrs ago, and we were shocked at what we saw! I just could not believe what we saw! Filth and squalor right before your very eyes! And we were looking for somewhere to spend our last few years together!
Just put the dustbin out for tomorrow! We have a lorry that passes once every two months for cumbersome items! We have one of the prettiest villages in the area! We are offered a certain variety of plants each spring to plant at the front of the house each year which is free!
So I say sort out your own rubbish and
take your hat off to your refuse collectors! Keep Britain Tidy was an old
publicity which should be respected and put on every wall in England!
Cheers! to all the refuse collectors!
God Bless. L.C
Ed: I agree entirely: the refuse collectors do a great job. The Danes have the right idea: most
things there have a deposit on them which means that all the bottles and
tins get recycled (into cash for more beer :-)
