The latest monthly crime statistics for Brigg - compiled by Humberside Police - have now been released through www.police.uk and they make interesting reading.
The official figures show that in July 2021 there were 38 crimes across the town, in various categories.
Sixteen were reported in or near the town centre, with 13 others on the Springbank housing estate. No incidents at all were recorded on/near the Newlands estate during July.
By way of comparison, there were 54 Brigg crimes in June 2021, 58 in May, 57 in April and 47 in March.
So July's total indicates a significant reduction in the number of incidents across the town - averaging not much more than one a day.
Some weeks ago Brigg Town Council decided to invite the recently elected Police & Crime Commissioner for Humberside, Coun Jon Evison (from Barton) to attend one of its forthcoming meetings, the next of which will be held in late September in the Buttercross.
Day-to-day policing, the deployment of officers and crime investigation & prevention is a matter for Chief Constable Lee Freeman and his senior colleagues.
