Just received today - and together - copies of North Lincolnshire Council's Direct magazine and its equivalent from Lincolnshire County Council. Both delivered by the postal service.
We get Lincolnshire's because we share a postcode with a handful of houses on the outskirts of Brigg which are over the border in West Lindsey. That is, under the overall remit of Lincolnshire County Council, rather than North Lincolnshire Council.
It's been a problem for years now, and no-one in authority has managed to work out how to ensure the few Lincolnshire County Council homes entitled to a copy of the newspaper get one, while missing out the scores of Brigg homes not entitled (and probably not interested) in getting one.
You see, the council folk feel they need to ensure ALL their residents get a copy delivered. They can't take chances.
Surely it would be simple just to write down the address of the handful of homes on Brigg's outskirts and get someone to post them.
How must this is all costing we shall never know. But it must be a good earner for the service being paid to deliver copies to households not entitled to receive them.
