Cunningham Lindsey has said Newark & Sherwood District Council will be joining its UK Fraudline Service, introduced by Zurich Municipal.
Cunningham Lindsey said a 2005 survey of subscribers to the Fraudline service showed that, on average, they had achieved a 25% drop in insurance claims compared to the
previous year.
Natalie Watts, business development manager for FraudLine, said: "A number of other local authorities are currently considering the range of anti-fraud and anti-social behaviour services that we offer, but this is our first confirmed subscription for 2006. We are obviously delighted."
