• Power Outages

    Hopefully, as we move toward Spring, the weather will be kinder to us, but this past few months have seen an exceptionally high amount of power outages in the Woodbastwick and Ranworth area.

    It is vital that these are reported and you get the opportunity to register dissatisfaction via 0800 028 4587 or by email[email protected]

    For older residents or those with chronic health conditions or serious illness, it is important that they are kept up to date with the progress of restoring power and they can register with the UK Power Networks Priority Services Register via calling 0800 169 9970 or emailing [email protected]

    The Parish Council will continue to monitor this issue and assist where we can.

  • Cold Callers – January 2023

    The Council received reports of a cold caller (who was part of a travelling team visiting local villages) operating in Woodbastwick and Panxworth recently.  The male was described as white, in 20s-early thirties with short, light coloured hair, carrying a bag of dusters/cloths etc which he was trying to sell, claiming to be an ex-prisoner.  There were reports that his style was forceful and became abusive if he was politely told “no”.

     

    Please be assured, this has been reported to Norfolk Police and to Trading Standards via CAB.  Trading Standards have given us the following advice, should this (thankfully) rare occurrence happen again:

    • Call 999 and report this as it is happening – it is the police who issue and enforce Pedlar’s Licences which should be carried by any individual bringing goods to your door for sale.  This Licence/Certificate means a seller has been registered and is allowed to operate in the area on the given days.  Failure to produce a Pedlars Licence means their operations are illegal and they can be arrested and fined for their actions.
    • If you do not feel able to call 999, please call 101 to report as soon as you’re able to.
    • Please advise others of the scam by visiting Action Fraud Action Fraud, Friends Against Scams  Friends Against Scams – National Trading Standards (NTS) Scams Team initiative protecting and preventing people from becoming victims of scams   or   Citizen’s Advice via their online report  Consumer query (datamotion.com)
    • Report to Citizens Advice by calling 0808 223 1133 (freephone) or Norfolk Scam Protection Service  0300 303 3706

     

    How to Prevent this

    You can prevent cold callers by placing a “No cold caller” sticker in your door/window – these are provided by Norfolk Police but we have a small amount held by the Council which you can get free of charge.  Please leave a message on 01692 536056 or email [email protected] with your address and we will deliver to you.

    You can also register for scam awareness emails via Norfolk County Council  Consumer scam alerts – Norfolk County Council

     

    Please keep safe and don’t hesitate to ring 999 or 101 if you feel uneasy about a caller at your door.
