There are two men in a very smart van driving around Cowes selling ‘surplus’ teak garden furniture door to door. They claim that they’ve just delivered to a neighbour who suggested that they call round.
They have been quite persistent despite the fact that one resident concerned had no outdoor space other than a very small roof terrace. It is not suggested that they’re doing anything wrong but they had been seen to pass the local resident's premises several times.
The concern is that some older residents may find they are pressurised into making an unwanted purchase.
The police are aware, but be vigilant should you receive someone "cold calling".
