Residents living in Kirk Hammerton are eligible to apply

A scheme for some Harrogate district villagers to improve the security of their homes opens today.

The Protect Your Home scheme aims to prevent burglaries on the district's border with West Yorkshire. Grants are available for new locks for doors, windows, garages and sheds as well as alarm systems for farms.

For homes with suitable WiFi coverage, the scheme also includes a RING video doorbell.

£719,590 is available in total with over 1,000 homes and 90 farms eligible. It is funded by the government and administered by the office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner North Yorkshire.

Residents living in Harrogate district villages Hopperton, Kirk Deighton, Kirk Hammerton, Leathley, Long Marston, North Deighton, Sicklinghall, Spofforth with Stockeld can apply.

Residents will receive a registration pack through the post over the next six weeks and can sign up at www.protectyourhome.org.uk.

Conservative Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire, Zoë Metcalfe, said:

“Burglary can leave people feeling vulnerable, frightened and distressed, the best way of deterring criminals from the entire community is for as many residents as possible to sign up and make their properties more secure so please sign up as soon as possible.”
