Expertise and knowledge from the now defunct Brigg and District Civic Society will not be be put to special use to help highlight problem areas in the town.
Some former officials indicated they were willing to help the council by identifying buildings which might affect the marks awarded to Brigg by judges in the best-kept town competition.
Coun Michael Doherty said the 'snagging list' produced by the society had always proved most useful in the past, and he thought it could still prove useful.
But the policy committee reached a different conclusion, deciding to politely decline the help of a regular inspection working party.
Coun Ben Nobbs said councillors regularly walked round the town 'with their eyes open'.
Coun Penny Smith added: "I don’t think it is necessary – we all do our bit."
And Coun Patrick Neal (pictured) warned: "You can go overboard with these things."
