Overview
If you live in Nottinghamshire, the Nominated Neighbour scheme can help to protect you from unscrupulous doorstep callers and rogue traders.
You can nominate a trusted neighbour to speak to any doorstep callers on your behalf. This means that you don’t need to answer the door. You can pass the caller a card and your neighbour will deal with the caller instead.
Nominated Neighbours don’t have to be at home – they can deal with the doorstep caller over the phone. The Nominated Neighbour will check the reason for the visit and confirm the caller’s identity.
If you, or someone you know, may benefit from the scheme, contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 0808 223 1133 or visit www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk (opens in new tab) and search ‘nominated neighbour’ for more information
