Denbighshire County Council is warning residents in
the county to beware of traders claiming to sell ‘left-over’ tarmac on behalf
of the authority.
The council has received calls from worried residents
in rural properties near Ruthin who have received cold callers offering to
sell ‘left over tarmac’ from resurfacing works and the traders claims they are
working for the county council.
However, the council says this
is not the case.
Councillor Tony Thomas, Cabinet Lead Member for
Housing, Regulation and the Environment, said: “This scam has been reported
previously in some other parts of the country and Denbighshire County Council
is emphasising that this offer is not real.
“The council would never authorise traders to sell any
left over tarmac door to door – that is not our working practice. We would
advise anyone approached to say no and to report the police."
