CENSUS 2021 WILL REVEAL WHETHER BRIGG OR BROUGHTON IS THE LARGEST LOCAL TOWN

When the findings of Census 2021 are made public, it will include population totals for all our local communities and reveal officially whether Brigg or Broughton is the largest local town.
In this era of rapid communications, it's surprising that the totting up of settlements' official populations are 10 years apart.
In its leaflet about the current census, the government says: "Organisations such as local authorities and charities use census information to understand the services we all need, including transport, education and healthcare."
Brigg Blog reminds local households that you can complete your census form online NOW - ahead of the set date, Sunday, March 21.
With millions of people likely to wait until Census Day, will the technology be able to cope on the 21st with so many Brits trying to log in at the same time. Therefore, we've already submitted our legally-required input - something that can be done as long as you're sure how many people are going to be at your address on March 21.
This is the first census to be carried out with 'online' designated as the main method of providing information to the government rather than the traditional on-paper format (still possible upon request by those without computer access).
Paradoxically, the government has still sent leaflets by post to all households, containing the unique housing access code required to complete this task online.
Failure to complete the census (using either method) can lead to a fine of up to £1,000.
The UK has held a census every 10 years since 1801 (except in 1941 during the Second World War when things looked grim for the Allies). The Romans were holding them more than 2,000 years ago!
