For the second time in recent weeks, a former Brigg Town Mayor has expressed concerns about the number of crimes being reported to police in the Brigg & Wolds area.
Coun Ann Eardley suggested 60+ crimes had been committed in the district over the last month for which figures were available. And she said a lot of these related to anti-social behaviour.
Coun Eardley raised the issue during 'Police Matters' which is always an agenda item at monthly meetings of the Town Council, although the Humberside force has only rarely had an officer in attendance during recent years.
Town Mayor Coun Sharon Riggall suggested Coun Eardley had raised something that should be placed on the agenda for discussion at next month's meeting.
The Brigg & Wolds policing area stretches as far as South Ferriby and includes a number of villages as well as the town.
