Dear Kent Residents

Read the Newsletter in full

Doorstep criminals have been active this week across Kent in Maidstone, Folkestone, Canterbury, Herne Bay, Deal, Margate, Dover, Dartford, Sittingbourne, Tonbridge and New Romney pressuring victims into paying for unnecessary, poor quality driveway, roofing or guttering work.

Please be alert and warn your vulnerable friends and family to never respond to cold callers as you will pay a high cost for unnecessary and poor-quality work.

If you need work done on your home or garden use a safe, local trader from Trading Standards Checked.

Report cold callers anonymously to the charity CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111 or online here.

For further advice call Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 0808 223 1133.

For scam alerts as they are issued please add us on Instagram or Facebook.

Thank you.
