We continue to receive reports of rogue traders in our area
Fraud is a very common issue that we all have to deal with and there are a range of types of fraud used by criminals. Doorstep sellers and rogue traders are working in our communities and we advise you not to engage with sellers or contractors who come to your home unannounced.
If someone approaches your home to offer work or point out work that they believe you need to have done, then we advise you to find a reputable company who can come and give you a legitimate quote to carry out that work. Rogue traders will charge you a large amount for a small amount of work – or will complete the work to a very poor standard. A genuine company should not put you under pressure to make an immediate decision.
Always research a company that is coming to work on your property.

As we are due to have a period of hot weather, we expect to see an increase in reports of young people swimming in open water. Although this is not encouraged, we are aware that a range of ages enjoy this activity and will continue to do so, despite the dangers it presents. If you know your child goes swimming in the local open water then please make sure they know how to keep themselves safe and what to do in an emergency
• Check for hazards in the water. Remember, tides can rise and fall rapidly
• As a rule of thumb, a jump of 10 metres requires a depth of at least 5 metres
• Never jump whilst under the influence of drink or drugs
• Check for access. It may be impossible to get out of the water
• Consider the risks to yourself and others. Conditions can change rapidly
• Never jump/swim in rivers alone
• Ensure one of your party has a mobile phone to call for help if needed
