PLANS to expand Neighbourhood Watch across all areas of Askam and Ireleth have received the full support of the parish council.
Following a presentation at their latest meeting, councillors agreed to help generate interest through increased publicity, an article in the parish newsletter and, possibly, a public meeting if there was enough interest.
"The parish council is obviously behind this and will help if we can," said clerk Jenny Donnelly.
There are currently four Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators in the area.
