Central Beds Council have received information regarding a possible rogue trader cold-calling on homes in the Sandy and surrounding area, offering to repair driveways for residents.
AMEY, who are contracted by Central Bedfordshire Council, repair potholes in roads using machinery called a “Jet Patcher”.
It appears an Irish male in a silver Ford Mondeo is following the locations that AMEY are working in and calling at residents homes offering ‘a lorry load of fresh tarmac as his “Jet Patcher” has broken’.
Be on your guard if you receive such a visit and please inform any neighbours you feel may be particularly vulnerable to a doorstep caller.
You can report any suspicious doorstep callers to us by calling 03454 040506.
