Flintshire County Council’s Chief Officer for Planning, Environment and Economy, Andrew Farrow, said: ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Flintshire Trading Standards officers worked with NWP on a rogue trader operation. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Doorstep crime is still a serious issue.  If you are cold called by any trader offering building or gardening work our advice is to say no to them and close the door. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

If you are suspicious that work is required then contact a reputable builder and ask them to take a look to see if such work is required. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

If you do not want cold callers at your door please contact FCC Trading Standards on 01352 703181 to request a No Cold calling sticker and we will post one out to you.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
