  2. Council issues warning after rise in dodgy landscape and roofing cold callers

    Officials say cold callers have been knocking on doors across the county in recent weeks, persuading some residents to hand over large sums of money for jobs that were either left unfinished or carried out to a poor standard.

    Residents urged to stay vigilant

    The council says the increase in complaints has prompted a fresh warning to communities, with householders advised to take their time before agreeing to any work and to be wary of high‑pressure tactics.

    Cllr Aled Vaughan Owen, Cabinet Member for Business and Consumer Affairs, said:

    “We want to ensure our residents are fully aware of the risks posed by rogue traders and are equipped with the knowledge to protect themselves. If you are approached by cold callers or have concerns about work being carried out on your property, please contact us or Citizens Advice immediately.”

    Trusted traders scheme

    The authority is encouraging residents to use its Buy With Confidence scheme to find vetted local businesses, and to report any suspicious activity to the Citizens Advice Consumer Service.

    Officials also reminded householders that contracts signed at home may carry a 14‑day cooling‑off period, giving people time to reconsider.

    Community response

    The council is asking residents to share the warning with family, friends and neighbours, particularly those who may be more vulnerable to doorstep scams.

  3. Last week’s project making a #zengarden in #wnc Setting a #stonelantern rescued from a dumpster fate by #cowboy #landscaper and me 7 months ago. We learned about leveling out the base under the 7/8” gravel, with stone dust and gravel, setting each section and leveling each with a little more clean stone dust. Translating #virginia “stone dust” or “quarry loam” to local language, acquiring a 5g bucket not a truckload, took half a day and of course a friend working at the nearby stone yard.
