The Ravensbury SNT in partnership with Ward Panel members has agreed on the following Ward priorities: • Anti Social behaviour in general • Anti Social behaviour by motorists • School Truancy Community Engagement Saturday 5 June PCSO Dickson supported the Wandle Festival, which held activities both in Morden Hall Park and Ravensbury Park. PCSO Dickson was on hand to engage with the community by explaining the role of Neighbourhood Policing, offering Crime Prevention Advice, listening and responding to any concerns or issues raised. The team working in partnership with Merton Trading Standards spent a day patrolling the ward. The aim was to identify any rogue traders/builders working on the ward. The team asked all traders for identification and checks were made to ensure all documents were genuine. On this occasion there were no rogue traders identified. But this does not mean rogue traders/builders will not try their luck on Ravensbury Ward. To try and minimise your risk of employing a rogue trader: • Do not deal with doorstep callers offering work on your home or garden • Use traders who are members of officially recognised organisations • Check that the tradesperson is from the company they say they are from • Ask for quotes in writing • Ring more than three traders to get a feel for an average price for the job. Remember traders must give you written notice of your right to seven days cancellation when agreeing to do work at your home, including work gained from a cold call • Please contact Ravensbury SNT or Merton Trading Standards if you have any doubts about whether a tradesperson is legitimate.
