ELDERLY residents in Selby have been urged to back a new scheme to help prevent fraudsters gaining access to their homes.
Nominate a Neighbour, led by North Yorkshire Police, encourages residents to work together to protect vulnerable people, by helping screen door-to-door callers.
The scheme was put forward at a meeting of the Central Community Engagement Forum, by PC Dave White, of Selby Police, who said he hoped it would strengthen community ties.
