Fraudsters have set up a high specification website template advertising various electrical goods and domestic appliances. These goods are below market value and do not exist. The fraudsters will request your card details via the website; however the purchaser will then receive an email stating the payment failed and they must pay via bank transfer.
The fraudsters entice the purchaser and reassure them it is a legitimate purchase by using the widely recognised Trusted Shop Trustmark. The fraudsters are using the Trustmark fraudulently and have not been certified by Trusted Shops and therefore the purchaser is not covered by the Trusted Shop money-back guarantee.

If you believe that you have been a victim of fraud you can report it online http://www.actionfraud.police.

Good Morning,
There has been a report of a male calling at properties in the Kingsley area. The male was trying to sell pictures / drawings and also asking for money. The male claimed he was deaf and wanted £10 per drawing.
If you have had anything similar at your property please email PCSO Phil Brandreth on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
If cold callers ever come to your address and you are unsure who they are and the company they work for, then always ask for ID and if you are still suspicious call Cheshire Police on 101.
Many thanks

Good afternoon,
There have been a number of reports of a suspicious white van with two males on board in the Kingsley area going door to door trying to sell residents a generator. Unfortunately no vehicle registration has been passed over. The males are quite persistent and are asking for payment via cheque or online payment.
If you have had these males at your address or seen something similar in your area please call 101 and report it or email your local officer on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..po
Many thanks

Firstly, many apologies for there not being any Farm Update for some time. It has been a very busy summer, both on and off the farm.
We started harvesting our early potatoes on 6th May this year. This is as early as we have ever started, and surprising because we had such a cold wet spring. After last year’s disastrous potato harvest, when big yields and potato blight caused the price to crash early in the year (and never recovered), we needed a good start this year. The price at our farm shop remained stable for quite a while. The cold spring followed by a dry May delayed potato development. Big yields are no good in early potatoes, because everyone wants small sweet new potatoes.
