Brigg is a market town on the River Ancholme, with markets going back to a 13th-century charter. It is not Grimsby, it is not Scunthorpe, and it is not a village that can be ignored because it is smaller. Restore Britain’s South Humber branch covers Brigg.
Restore Britain is a national party for the whole United Kingdom. This page is the local door for people in Brigg who want to join, leaflet, and see market-town Britain put first — without this branch pretending to cover Scunthorpe.
James Sutton is the appointed organiser. The northern edge of the patch is Barton-upon-Humber. Scunthorpe and north of Scunthorpe are outside this branch; use the national branch finder.
What is happening in Brigg
- River Ancholme: flood alerts, monitored levels, and the town centre and leisure centre hit in the worst of them. Flood defence should not be an afterthought because Brigg is smaller than Grimsby.
- Banks leaving the high street: Lloyds closed its Brigg branch in March 2026. A temporary banking hub opened at The Angel; the permanent home is planned at The Buttercross. A market town serving a wide rural area still needs cash and a face across a counter.
- Monument Garage, Bigby Road: plans for another convenience store on the roundabout were refused, then came back. Dozens of residents objected, as did Brigg Town Council.
- Asylum support: Brigg sits in North Lincolnshire. The Home Office figure is 74 people on support for the whole council at 31 March 2026 — including Scunthorpe, which this branch does not cover. There is no official Brigg-only number.
