Among its ambitions are:

• Urgent action to create jobs;

• A review of flood defences;

• Development of moorings on the River Ancholme and regular clean-ups of the river;

• Improved recreational grounds;

• The restoration of events such as the and Brigg Show;

• A review of the CCTV system;

• A 'Brigg Town Planning Forum' to support development including affordable housing;

• Addressing traffic problems and improving train services.

The plan has been developed over the past two years after public meetings, online feedback, displays in a shop-front in Wrawby Street, a questionnaire to all homes and school visits.

Councillor Alec Depledge said: "Those who live in Brigg, or use the town in any way, have clearly spoken, making their wishes known, and are watching and waiting for positive action to bring about improvements to the quality of life within this community."
