Detectives Issue Warning Following Recent Spate In Telephone Scams Across Cheshire 03/08/2020

| Detectives are issuing an urgent warning to the public after a recent spate in telephone scams which have left Cheshire victims without thousands of pounds. Officers are continuing to see cases of courier fraud, this scam is mainly committed by organised crime groups (OCGs). A member of the OCG, known as the ‘victim communicator', makes a phone call to vulnerable victims telling them that they are a police officer or work at a bank. They persuade the victim to co-operate with an ‘operation’ designed to gather evidence or identify offenders responsible for fictional offences. The victims are asked to withdraw money from their bank, purchase an expensive item and/or provide their bank details or card to assist with the operation. Money, items or documents are then handed over to the ‘courier’, who attends the address of the victim or meets them nearby, on the promise that the money or item will be returned or compensation provided. Cheshire Constabulary are now urging others to be aware of these scams and alert vulnerable neighbours or family. Detective Sergeant Chris Jacques from Cheshire Constabulary’s Economic Crime Unit said: “These fraudsters are extremely convincing and can be very persistent especially when targeting vulnerable victims. “Police officers, banks and other such services will never ask you to withdraw money or provide card details so please do not be taken in by these scams. “It is important to remember that telephone numbers can be easily spoofed and you should never trust a number displayed on your telephone. “They may also attempt to ask victims to call back on 999, 101 or 161 to verify that they are genuine but this is part of the scam and they keep the line open so that the victim continues speak with the scammers believing that they are genuine officials. “Anyone who is receiving calls asking for money to be withdrawn and handed over to a courier should call 101 or report it to Action Fraud.” Police and Crime Commissioner David Keane said: “It is quite concerning that there have been more cases of fraud across Cheshire. “Fraudsters will stop at nothing for their own criminal gain and I know that the force will continue to crackdown on the mindless scammers and do everything in their power to bring them to justice. “I am urging residents to continue to inform family and friends about these callous scams to ensure that no-one else falls victim.” Anyone who believes they have been contacted fraudulently or have been a victim of fraud should call Cheshire Police on 101 and Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.  |

Higher Heyes Development - Updates week beginning 20 July 2020
Site Manager: Ian Forber | Mobile: 0776 486 5200 | Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
---------------------------
Week beginning 30 July 2020
From 22nd to 24th July the last of the block and beam flooring will be going on so we will have the crane on site for probably 2 days, and also there will be several articulated lorries carrying the beams from Cumbria.
The mortar silo is on site now, delivered last Thursday 16th July this is for the brickwork contractor who will be starting the super structure works on Monday 27th July, this is scheduled for 12 weeks but we are hoping to try and shave some time off this, that of course is also reliant on our lovely weather helping us out.
All services are on site now so there should be very little if any disturbance on Higher Heyes drive now.
The road is now ready for tarmac so once its been inspected by Cheshire West we will be laying a base coat which will be topped towards the end of the project.
We have off hired the green road sweeper now because of the formation of the road but I will be bringing in UBU sweepers as and when needed.
I really would like to thank everyone in the village for their patience during this build, I am trying my best to keep you all happy and will try to ensure that the job runs smoothly.
Feel free to ask any questions on Facebook, email or phone, I will always try to answer them.
Many Thanks
Kind Regards
IAN FORBER.

Good Morning all,
I was going to tell you that next week the first delivery of face brick are coming but they arrived at 7.30 this morning.
The bricks we are going to use for the main build are Forterra Victorian mixture, and for the contrasting panels between some windows we are using Weinerberger smooth reds.
I am hoping to have a test panel built soon in the 2 contrasting bricks and when I do I will send a photo.
This week the surface water drainage was virtually completed, we just have the hydro brake to finish off.
We have started the foul drainage now and that should be completed in the new road next week.
Foundations – we have dug out and concreted plots 10 and 11 (bungalows ) in the top corner of the site backing on to Mansefield Road.
