WATCHING BRIEF

Shortly before leaving work at the Scunthorpe Telegraph at tea-time yesterday I read a Viewpoint letter from a member of the public who suggested you never see police out on the streets of Brigg anymore. And made the point in very strong term.
On arriving back in town along the A18 I turned into Cary Lane and headed for Lidl's store. On the corner, near Spring's Parade, was a group of youngsters; parked, only a few yards away, was a marked police car from which two officers were observing what the teenagers were doing.
That's not meant as a criticism of the reader's views or intended to be overly supportive of the police.
Just stating the facts. Now it's up to you, the jury, to decide!
