Bogus callers

All of our workers, contractors, and officials carry identity cards which they will always show to any resident before entering their homes.

Cards have a telephone number to contact us - so you can confirm the employee is genuine.

Utility companies and other organisations also operate similar identity card or password systems.

If you have any doubt about the identity of anyone calling at you home, then call us or your local police straight away. DON'T LET ANYONE IN - if we're genuine, we won't mind, whatever the weather.
