There has been an incident in the Pinhoe area where two males called on an elderly lady, told her they were working on her neighbour's and there had been a leak.  They asked the lady for several hundred pounds and gained access to her property.  She gave them the money and of course has found out that this is a scam.

Please do not make payments to anyone who claims they have worked on your property.  Do not allow anyone into your home you do not know.

If it happens to you ring 08452 777 444 quoting Police log 389.

Barbecue

Many thanks to the committee and all those who took so much trouble to make the barbecue the enjoyable occasion that it was, especially to Christine for lending her delightful garden to the event.

A bogus caller has called on a resident in the Broadclyst area stating that he was from East Devon District Council and was there to paint the ceilings.  When asked for ID he left.  His description is:  a white male aged about 40, 5ft. 3ins., grey hair, wearing white overalls.

The Council has no knowledge of this man.

If you have a call from someone like this do not allow him into your property but call 999 while he is there.

RED COW SITE Latest news from Percy Prowse

Dear Resident

On 18th July I made an inspection of the above site.  It was apparent that the developer/owner had made no effort to comply with the Untidy Site Notice.  I rang our enforcement officer, Stacey Salter, who told me that she had only just received a letter from the owner/developer confirming that the site had been tidied and made secure.  Clearly a vivid imagination has overtaken them.  She is to photograph the site and meet with our legal department to move to the next stage.  Another progress report will be made by me in due course.

Yours sincerely

Percy
