Vulnerable residents on Arran are being urged to apply for cold-calling blockers in a campaign by the North Ayrshire Council’s trading standards team.
Having proved effective in blocking nuisance calls, a number of the blockers have now become available and the council wishes to see them being put to good use.
Over the last year, 152 of the devices have been installed across North Ayrshire and they have already blocked 57,504 out of 58,007 nuisance calls received, which is a 95 per cent success rate.
