Are you sensing that now might be the perfect time to go solar? If so, you can invest in renewable energy sources through a group-buying Hertfordshire-wide scheme for solar panels and battery storage.

Solar Together helps homeowners to feel confident they are paying the right price for a high-quality installation from qualified installers, as well as increasing their independence from the national grid and lowering carbon emissions.

Hertsmere residents can join the scheme, which offers solar panels with optional battery storage and EV charge points, as well as retrofit battery storage for people who have already invested in solar panels and are looking to get more from the renewable energy generated.

It’s free to register, and there is no obligation to go ahead with an installation.

Hertfordshire County Council is working in partnership with iChoosr, experts in sustainable energy transition, to make the move to clean energy as cost-effective and hassle-free as possible.

iChoosr has been collaborating with UK councils since 2015 on its Solar Together scheme. Register your interest

Beware callers posing as police or bank staff

Since the beginning of the year, three residents in #Herts have received calls from fraudsters posing as police officers or bank staff.  

The fraudsters convinced one victim to hand over more than £9k.  

If you receive a call you’re not expecting, you should be suspicious. The vital things to remember are that your bank and the police would:  
·  NEVER ask for your bank account details or PIN number over the phone, so do not disclose these to anyone, no matter who they claim to be.
·  NEVER ask you to withdraw money and send it to them via a courier, taxi or by any other means.
·  NEVER ask you to send your bank cards, or any other personal property, to them via courier, taxi or by any other means.

If you are not happy with a phone call and are suspicious of the conversation you have with the caller then please end the call and dial 101 or report online.    

Remember, when reporting a suspicious phone call to police, wait at least five minutes before attempting to make the call to ensure you’re not reconnected to the offender.  

Alternatively, use a mobile phone or test your landline by phoning a friend or relative first, to ensure you aren’t still unwittingly connected to the offender.

Report fraud to @ActionFraudUK on 0300 123 2040.
