Bogus Council Officials

Peterborough Trading Standards are warning local businesses to be on the look out for two men in their early thirties who claim to work for Peterborough City Council. The men have approached a local shop owner on Lincoln Road, selling pest control goods and services. Please be aware that Peterborough City Council does not employee pest control officers.

If a Council Officer visits your business or home they will have Identification to prove who they all. Please ask to see this identification, if you are still unsure, use the telephone number given to make further checks.

If anyone approaches you or your business claiming to be a Council Official and who’s identification is not correct, please contact Trading Standards on 01733 453 512 or trading.standards@peterborough.gov.uk.
