BRIGG LEADING COUNTRY?


Could Brigg Town Council be leading the way with 21st century technology?
That question was posed when the authority held its monthly review of its website www.briggmarkettown.co.uk
The town council has a presence on MySpace – a popular international networking site – and uploads podcasts - sound recordings of the Town Mayor’s comments on Brigg topics which visitors to the website can download to listen to when they want.
Coun Julian Kidd (pictured) wondered whether any other town and parish councils in England had such technology in place.
“It would be useful to know what percentage do it,” he suggested.
Deputy Town Mayor, Coun James Truepenny, who oversees the podcasts, said he would do a Google search on the internet but thought Brigg might be the only one on MySpace.
