DRIVEWAY TOUTS WARNING

Police have received complaints from residents of Wealden aboiut people touting for driveway work.

There have been reports from Lower Dicker up to Holtye in the north.

A police spokesman said: 'The touts usually say that they have a small amount of tarmac left following a job they have just completed for the council. This is not the case.

'Householders are usually then presented with a large bill, for what is often sub-standard work. Members of the public are advised to be very wary of accepting unsolicited offers of work such as this.

Sergeant Dave Price added: 'I would advise anyone to think extremely carefully before accepting any quotes for work in this manner. It would be a far better idea to phone a reputable company.'
