THE council is warning of bogus insulation salesmen calling at homes in the district.
They are selling house insulation door-to-door and cold-calling, falsely claiming to work for the council-backed Herts Essex Energy Partnership (HEEP).
Lenitha Bishop, the service delivery manager for the partnership, said: “Approved canvassers on the HEEP scheme will always carry identification and branded paperwork.”
The council-approved partnership, which offers discounted loft insulation, can be contacted by calling 0800 9806026.
