Brigg Blog has today logged a request with North Lincolnshire Council to find out what type of work was being carried out to CCTV in the town centre yesterday afternoon (April 14).
Was a new camera being installed high up on Wrawby Street? Or was it a welcome upgrade or maintenance of existing equipment?
A specialist company was using a 'cherry picker' near the Golden City takeaway.
In December we think the same firm was brought in to install additional cameras to survey the riverside from the County Bridge to the Ancholme Way Bridge.
Camera footage from across North Lincolnshire is monitored at a control centre in Scunthorpe. Some crimes are caught on camera and prove useful in bringing people to court.
Prior to the CCTV additions made to monitor the riverside, cameras were installed on Elwes Street near the Millennium Green, following reports of anti-social behaviour.
Brigg Town Council and the North Lincolnshire authority have been working together on CCTV provision in recent years.
11.15am UPDATE TODAY: A helpful spokesman for North Lincolnshire Council replied to explain: "The Wrawby Street camera was the last remaining analogue camera in Brigg and has now been upgraded to digital."
