Please be aware, one of our neighbours was nearly caught by this last weekend- in Adys road, off Goose green.

This is an eldery vulnerable woman who had a man try to barge into her house to sell fencing.

Please look after your neighbours , confront people who you dont know at their door , ask for ID (this chap walked away when asked) and call the police.

Does your neighbour have a spy hole and a door chain? Too many trusting people, esp. elderly, open their doors without checking who it is first, even in the daytime. If you aren't expecting anyone, then don't open the door, esp. if you are elderly, on your own, or disabled.

Hi Worker....




That's the Con.


They do not want a single payment they want you to sign up for what is

Called a Continuous Payment Authority,

it works like a direct debit but can't be cancelled by your bank. Or by You.

Only the organisation receiving the payments can do it - and that's not always easy..

Foxy..

I had the Battersea Dog collectors as well and and soon as I declined on the basis that I give to the Dog's Trust they said no problem, to have a look at the website if I ever changed my mind who to support and various similar things so they came across as fairly genuine to me, if a bit pushy initially, but then i find all doorstep chuggers like that!

Hi


Heard that one of our elderly neighbours had an attempted distraction burgulary on lordship lane today. Two men claiming there had been a leak in the upstairs flat that needed investigating.


Luckily she didnt let both men in and so all ok.


Seems like they may target more vulnerable people - please be vigilant.

    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
