Strangers lurking around children's play areas have prompted a village to launch an early warning system to alert parents of danger.

The move comes after an unknown man's car was seen parked at the playground in Little Totham. The same vehicle was also spotted in neighbouring villages.

Spearheading the safety initiative is All Saints' Church in Little Totham. Anyone interested in joining the scheme should call churchwarden Vivienne Smith on 01621 891660.
