We have received a number of calls about Rogue Traders offering to work on your driveway because they are working in the Abingdon area.
Put simply, where a service costs over £35, customers have a 7 day cooling off period and must be provided with a written notice of these rights prior to work being started. Good tradesmen are generally booked up and will not make door to door sales. Reports have included children being used to hand out promotional information as well as pushy tactics on the doorstep.
Please look out for your vulnerable neighbours by reporting suspicious behaviour.
Trading standards can be called on 03454 04 05 06 for advice. If suspicious people are in the area at the time we would also welcome calls on 101.
