Rogue Trading

Agreed on 16 May 2024. Updated on 25 July 2024

We have had reports of cold calling by small gardening/tree cutting businesses.

There have been reports of vulnerable persons being over charged for services, after agreeing an initial quote. Although not a criminal act these instances are known to have a sever impact on the well being of persons affected, not only financially but emotionally.

Please report suspected cold callers via 101 or Avon ad Somerset police website.
