COLD CALLERS: Hambleton residents are being warned not to deal with cold callers falsely claiming to be working with the council to fit solar panels. The Hambleton District Council is not running any scheme offering solar panels.

The council urges residents to be vigilant and look out for elderly neighbours, and to make sure any work is carried out by accredited companies only.

Anyone interested in solar panels or other renewable energy technologies should contact Yorkshire Energy Partnership on 01904-554406 or email advice@energypartnership.org.uk.
