A WARNING has been issued to residents in Coventry about a rogue trader operating in the area.

It was sent out by the Wainbody, Westwood, Whoberley and Woodlands Neighbourhood Policing Team.

The advice follows an incident where the roof of a house was retiled but did not comply with building regulations.

People are warned ‘not to be conned by cowboys’ and to follow rules to protect themselves.

· The City Council need to be informed before a job like re-roofing can commence.
