The Police have been receiving reports of rogue traders in the area.  

A common scam is where people try to get vulnerable people to buy goods/services at inflated prices (eg. roofing, building, garden maintenance). It can also be a ruse to get a look at any valuables within the address for a possible future burglary.  

Please be wary of rogue traders cold calling, please do not buy anything or agree to work offered by unsolicited doorstep callers, the risks are high.

If you want work doing in your home or garden, take time to get three quotes from reputable businesses you trust and make your decision on who to use in your own time.
If you are concerned someone is at risk, always call the police.

If you are concerned rogue traders are operating in your area, always report it.
If someone knocks on your door and you are not sure, don’t open the door.
If you see cold callers in the area or have concerns for neighbours, please contact Trading Standards or ourselves via our website or by phoning 101.

Please phone 999 if you require immediate assistance.

Please pass this information on to neighbours.
