Action Fraud - Freecycle Alert

Fraudsters are targeting online advertising platforms where items are acquired for free. The fraudsters will list items on the website and advise any purchasers that they have recently moved from the area they were originally living in and can arrange a courier to dispatch the items for a fee. 
 
The payment requested for this service is usually via Money Transfer such as MoneyGram or Western Union, or an e-money voucher. The items they were promised are not received and any attempts to contact the individual to gain a refund are unsuccessful.
 
Protect Yourself:

• Stay within the auction guidelines stipulated on the website.
• Ask to view the item in person.
• Be cautions of making advance payments to a stranger via Money Transfer or e-money products.
• If the item advertised seems too good to be true, it probably is.

If you believe that you have been a victim of fraud you can report it onlinehttp://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud or by telephone 0300 123 2040.

Town Farm Quarry Extraction and Restoration Appeals

It seems that as a result of the number of representations made by local Parish Councils and residents the Planning Inspector has decided that the two appeals will be decided after a local hearing and not simply by written representations alone.. Residents will have the ability to make personal representations at the hearing or simply attend all or part of this important appeal which ,if permitted, could have a serious impact on traffic through the village for the next few years.

The hearing will take place on 11th November 2015 at Wyvern House, The Drumber, Winsford, CW7 1AH. from 9.30 am onwards.
