Today we reveal the tidy profit made by scum-of-the-earth rogue traders across the county.

Dodgy builders and roofers have pocketed almost £1m by fleecing unsuspecting members of our communities.

The trading standards teams and police seem to be working hard to stay ahead of the game.

But we need to play a part too.If you have elderly or vulnerable neighbours keep your eyes on who knocks at their door.

Make sure they don’t part with cash for unacceptable – or even non-existent – work to their homes.
