POLICE NOW USING BRIGG BUILDING WITH AN INTERESTING HISTORY

 

With Brigg soon to get more police officers allocated to the local area, we are wondering about the  role of a building in the the town Humberside Police is now using, as it has an interesting history, despite not being historic or particularly old by our standards.
The former town hall and HQ of Brigg Urban District Council up to 1974,  the building on Cary Lane was later used as offices by Glanford Borough Council and latterly North Lincolnshire Council.
The unitary authority has now confirmed that it is leasing this building to Humberside Police, whose public protection unit is based nearby in the station on Barnard Avenue.
Could it be that when the additional officers come to Brigg they will be based in the Cary Lane building?
It seems to us that the ground floor would be ideal for this purpose and easily accessible to the general public (see picture below).
Humberside Police has yet to reveal the number of additional officers for Brigg or where they will be housed.
Brigg Blog is taking a Softly, Softly approach when it comes to detective work on this story, but hopes to be able to reveal more about the policing plans in the not too distant future.

The building on Cary Lane which is being leased to Humberside Police by North Lincolnshire Council. It is next to Wilko's store and close to the town's main bus stop.
