POLICING ISSUES

Several interesting topics were raised by Brigg resident Gordon Johnson at a meeting of the town's neighbourhood policing panel.
He called for alterations to the traffic light-controlled junction between Barnard Avenue and Old Courts Road.
Gordon thought an extra lane might help ease congestion.
Roy Hindmarsh, of North Lincolnshire Council, said they would have a look at the issue.
Mr Johnson also said he was disappointed by the number of people who chose not to use the cycle path provided on Wrawby Road.
"They can’t be bothered to cross the road," he complained.
Mr Johnson’s third point concerned old-fashioned ‘Q Cars’ – unmarked police vehicles he thought would make it easier for police to catch offenders.
Insp Betty Rutty, head of rural policing, said ‘Q Cars’ had not been ‘done away with’ and could still be called upon.
