Work aimed at fixing a long-standing Brigg problem was under way yesterday (Friday, August 19).
Brigg Blog recently flagged up a street fault on lengthy St Helen's Road, which is used by many pedestrians.
We reported a long out-of-action street light to North Lincolnshire Council, the local highway authority.
It acknowledged our repair request verbally and later by email - the suggestion being there was an electricity supply issue.
A week later, workers with mobile plant (on behalf of Northern Powergrid) arrived and excavated the footpath along St Helens Road from the junction with Kings Avenue.
Those of us walking home from Brigg pub visits late tonight (Saturday) will hopefully find normal service has been resumed and that the previously pitch-dark section of St Helens Road is again fully illuminated.
Our advice to local people reporting various problems to North Lincolnshire Council is to use the online 'chat' system available through its website.
A member of staff will then swap online messages with you after a question and answer exchange.
This information will then be passed to the relevant section or department and you can expect to receive emails confirming what has been logged with the council on your behalf. We have used this method a number of times.
