 **Rogue Traders are currently operating in the Melton and Rutland areas**
Traders are cold calling residents offering driveway work. This work is often substandard, not required and the price inflated. Consumers are also unable to claim on any warranty if they have not been given the correct paperwork and business information. Our advice is always not to buy at the door and never to pay in cash. Always check the credentials of any company you agree to carry out work for you and obtain at least 3 quotes to allow you to make the most informed decision. Remember if you’re not sure, don’t open the door. To report, or for free advice and guidance, please contact 0808 223 1133.

Rutland County Council is to join Leicester City and Leicestershire County Councils in taking a lead in sharing best practice on the Government’s new trace and test service.
The councils say they are now awaiting further details from the Government about the service – and the role which they will play.
Mike Sandys, Director of Public Health for Rutland County Council, commented: “We are pleased to be part of one of the 11 ‘beacon’ sites chosen to pilot the development of local outbreak management plans as part of the Government’s test and trace strategy.
“Although the detail is yet to be described, we think it is positive the Government has recognised the council is well placed to know it’s local population and to manage COVID-19 locally through, for example, identifying ‘hotspots’, testing, contact tracing and communicating with the public”.
NB : Under the Data Protection Act, we are advised we should not usually identify or provide information that can easily identify an individual. In such cases part information will be omitted e.g. an asterisk may be used in place of one letter of a suspect vehicle.
