There's been much debate in the national press about Mosquito alarms fastened to buildings and generating high-pitched, unpleasant noise to warn off unsavoury types in the neighbourhood.
Well, Brigg has something of a rival at the moment. It's annoying rather than deafening, but this particular burglar alarm has been sounding for at least four days non-stop.
We've thought long and hardly about revealing the building's identity to shame the owners into doing something about it. But as it's been up for sale for a long time, and a sign outside suggests a deal is being struck, maybe that's the root of the problem. Someone, however, needs to get it switched off.
The other issue is the security of the building while the alarm is going off. This will lull folk into a false sense of security, and if intruders were to pay it a visit, maybe no-one would bat an eyelid.
The building may still be in public ownership, which makes the situation all the more surprising.
