“It was pressure right from the beginning. They don’t give you time to think.”

Mary*, 84 and from north-east England, was persuaded to pay around £40,000 in cash to scammers claiming to be from her bank’s fraud department. She used her life savings, pension money and was pressured into borrowing from a friend. Part of the cash came from Mary being duped into taking out a five year, monthly-repayable loan for £30,000. The ordeal has left her traumatised and she’s since received treatment for depression from her GP.

It’s not always easy to spot scams. Scammers are coming up with new ways to manipulate people, which is why it’s important you know what to look out for and how to protect yourself.

It pays to be ⤵️

💡As the darker nights draw in, keeping our roads well-lit becomes even more important for safety and peace of mind. We manage and maintain 84,000 streetlights and 5,500 illuminated traffic signs across County Durham's roads.

Our annual night-time streetlighting scouting patrol is underway. Each evening, street lighting operatives follow a pre-programmed route, scanning for any lights that are out across the network.

Every fault is logged and scheduled for repair, helping ensure our communities stay safe and bright throughout the season.

You can support us by letting us know if you spot a streetlight that’s not working at: doitonline.durham.gov.uk/service/street_lighting
