It's to be hoped that future online/virtual meetings of Brigg Town Council attract members of the public, as the latest one did when it was held earlier this week.
Chris Darlington - speaking under the Public Question Time item which always appears on agendas at these monthly sessions - made a welcome contribution about litter cleaning.
However, members of the public not wishing to put questions are still welcome to observe the proceedings as they happen.
The next online Town Council meeting will not be held until late January, prior to which Brigg Blog will post details of how the public can follow the debates 'live' on the web or by dialling in.
However, if a number of new Brigg planning applications are submitted for consideration in the next week or two, it's possible that a 'case of need' meeting of the Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee will be convened by the chairman, Coun Brian Parker, who is the Deputy Town Mayor.
Our pictures were taken during last Tuesday night's 'virtual' Town Council meeting.
Such sessions are 'hosted' - using the Zoom facility - by Town Clerk Kerry McGrath.
Town Council notices and meeting agendas are now being uploaded on one of the new digital display boards recently erected on the rear wall of the Angel car park.
This system has replaced printed copies being posted in a glass case or affixed to a window in the nearby Rotunda.
Several Acts of Parliament in the 19th and 20th centuries gave the public legal rights to attend council meetings and those of committees and sub-committees.
Earlier this year when the Coronavirus emergency halted council meetings being held in traditional form around a table, further legislation extended these rights to local authority sessions taking place online.
