Nominated Neighbour scheme

Trading Standards have launched a Nominated Neighbour scheme  across the Macclesfield division. The scheme is aimed at protecting vulnerable people in our community and uses a specially developed card. The card is shown to the caller by the vulnerable person without opening the door and advises any unidentified or unexpected caller to go to the address of a "Nominated Neighbour". This can be a friend or neighbour who will check the caller's identity and, if they are genuine, return with them whilst the visit takes place.

Genuine callers will be happy to contact the "Nominated Neighbour" and bogus callers will fail to gain access.

If you are interested in joining the scheme please forward details to me either by email or telephone and we can progress it from there.
