Businesses in neighbouring areas have been targeted by scammers posing as council officers, claiming premises licences are expiring or that fees are owed. They may ask for payment into a personal account. Premises licences do not expire, and legitimate payment requests will always include an official invoice with payment instructions. If you receive a suspicious call or text, contact us to verify. Visit Action Fraud for advice on how to protect yourself.
