Latest News

The Town Council have been advised that the temporary post office will open on 26 June 2020 at 10am in the foyer area of the Town Hall.

Further details on times and days of opening are the responsibility of the Post Office who will no doubt share this information with all of us eventually.

We kindly request that customers of the Post Office wear a mask when accessing this building to help stop the transmission of COVID-19.

We look forward to seeing some familiar faces behind the new counter in the temporary Post Office tomorrow.

Thanks to the Mayor, Cllr Phil Mitchell, who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes, liaising with the Post Office to ensure that the Town Hall was suitable for Wadebridge to continue to have a Post Office until it moves to Spar.

Citizens Advice Cornwall is launching Scams Awareness Fortnight today (15 June) as they have, unfortunately, seen an increase in coronavirus-related scams in the County, in addition to the relentless online, post and doorstep frauds we see every month.

ONE-IN-THREE PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH WEST TARGETED BY A SCAMMER DURING LOCKDOWN

More than one-in-three people (36%) in the South West have been the target of a scam since lockdown came into effect across the country, according to new research by Citizens Advice Cornwall.

Over half of people (58%) are worried someone they know will fall foul of a con. And the large majority of people (88%) reported they felt wary of coronavirus scams.

Citizens Advice Cornwall and Trading Standards are encouraging people to talk about their experiences and look out for others they think could be at risk.

Citizens Advice Cornwall Chief Executive, Gill Pipkin, said:
“Our data shows that the last few months have been very difficult for a lot of people across the region. And despite this, we’ve seen appalling evidence of opportunistic scammers taking advantage of people’s worries and concerns.
“One-in-three local people have been targeted by a scam since lockdown began, showing we all need to be on high alert.
“It’s really important we all do our bit and report anything that looks like a con when we see it. By learning how scammers operate, and helping each other understand what to look out for, we can all work together to stop fraudsters in their tracks.“

To help stop more people being fleeced by these types of scams, Citizens Advice Cornwall and Trading Standards are sharing the following tips on how to spot them:

● Look into installing a call blocker to help combat telephone scams
● Talk to your bank immediately if there is any suspicious activity or transactions from their account or credit cards
● Report the scam to Citizens Advice who will give you advice on what to do next and report the scam to Trading Standards
● Report the scam to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040
● If you or someone you know is struggling to pay bills or outstanding debts Citizens Advice may be able to help.

You can also take the following steps to safeguard yourself and others:
● Be suspicious if you’re contacted out of the blue, even if it’s from a name you recognise
● If it sounds too good to be true it probably is
● Never send money to someone you’ve never met
● Never give out your bank details unless you are certain you can trust the person contacting you
● Don’t be rushed – you never need to make a decision straight away and if you feel pressured say “no”
● Suspect a scam? Hang up, wait five minutes to clear the line or use another phone to call
● Don’t suffer in silence – speak out about scams.
