In this era of Google maps, smart phones and broadband it’s
surprising to see how many delivery drivers still get lost in
Brigg.
We’ve seen them pull over in Bridge Street, near the petrol
station, delivery sheets in hand, and cross over the A18 to seek
directions.
This also happens in other areas of town.
More than 30 years ago when Lincolnshire Times reporters made
their early morning visit to Brigg police station to check any overnight
incidents, it was not unusual to observe truck and van drivers coming in to ask
the location of businesses.
The inquiry desk had a map of the town and would use it to
point out where the drivers needed to go. Back then, of course, there was precious little technology to
assist delivery men and women.
