Cold calling and St Johns Ambulance

Despite signs saying we are a No Cold Calling Zone in a way we aren't because it still happens. From J-Witnesses who I delay considerably from their mission to power companies to blokes who have told me my fascias are looking a bit falling down to...on your bikes guys. Anyway here is an update via Cranfield Parish Council and our local PCSO.


To Beds Police: Members of the Council have asked me to let you know that two men who claimed to be from St John Ambulance, arrived at PCllr Alan Morris's doorstep asking for a commitment to fund St John’s Ambulance; they had a form of identification however they claimed that the organisation had informed the Parish Council they would be passing through the village knocking on doors asking for money.  The Clerk confirmed that no contact had been received from St Johns.

I hope that this information is of help, and would be grateful if you would let me have any information on your findings.





PCSO Juliet Wright (nearly said Bravo) replied


The control room confirmed to us that St Johns Ambulance had contacted them sometime ago to say they would be in the Central Beds area.
Reports have also come in from other villages to say they have had them canvassing as well.
If anyone is any doubt about cold callers they should always ring 101 to report it as its always best to be on the safe side.
Regards
