Recently residents in the Stragglethorpe area  have been approached by workmen purporting to be offering to tarmac driveways with surplus materials from the A46 road widening project.

Neither the main contractors for the project or their sub-contractors are or will be engaged in such activity.
The story put about by these persons is totally untrue and have no connection to the project whatsoever.
Should you be approached by these people please inform the police, try to gain as much information about them as possible - descriptions, names, trading title and details of any vehicles seen or documentation offered.
Should they be in the vicinity of your home ring the '999' system.  If they have left please call the new police non - emergency number 0300 300 99 99.
There is every posibility that these workmen will widen their area of activity.  Please be on your guard.
