information should they so choose”

GMPRG

• GMPRG was one of a number of local revitalisation groups

formed in Chiltern District back in 2003 .

• This was done with the help and guidance of Chiltern District

Council’s Community and Leisure team, to take advantage of funding available to community groups.

• £340,000 of external funding has been provided for local

projects.

GMPRG

The group was set up as a forum for the consideration and implementation

• f revitalisation initiatives-

for the benefit of the local community for- Community Transport Environment Economy

Community Consultation

In 2005 GMPRG initiated a community project- ‘The Community Vision’ Consultation by local residents to understand what the community thought about-

• Where they live?
• What could be done to improve

it?

• What was needed?

Community Vision-CV4HP16

CV4HP16 projects -

• The Source newspaper
• Car Parking Working Party in Great

Missenden

• Library Working Party
• Provided funding for local groups
• Parish Village Design Statement

GMPRG- Concept for Prestwood Village Centre

What’s next for GMPRG?

• Set up a new GMPRG team

things still to be done.

• Revisiting the Community Vision to prioritise

projects- What projects do local people want?

Rogue Traders

Thames Valley Police

Chris Ging

26/04/2017 Prestwood Village Association 34

Rogue Traders

• Rogue Trader Week of Action: May 8th
• Thames Valley Police are attending various

locations in Bucks to raise awareness of Rogue Trading scams

• Many of the victims tend to be vulnerable and

the elderly

26/04/2017 Prestwood Village Association 35

Courier Fraud

• Conman obtains personal details of the victim

and makes contact by phone.

• They pose as a Police Officer and tell the

victim their account has been compromised

• They persuade the victim to pass their bank

details and even PIN over the telephone

• A courier is sent to pick up their cards for

forensic analysis

26/04/2017 Prestwood Village Association 36

How it works…

• The conman tells the victim to hang up and call 999
• r the number on the back of their card
• The victim hangs up, but the line remains open with

the conman on the other end

• When the victim redials, they are still speaking to the

conman or an accomplice

• What you can do:

– Hang up the line and use a mobile – Hang up and call a friend first – Hang up the line and wait 5 minutes

26/04/2017 Prestwood Village Association 37

Invoice Fraud

• Can be targeted at anyone
• A conman changes the bank details on a

legitimate or expected invoice

• You check with the tradesperson, they reply
• Nobody checks the bank details
• Payment is diverted to the conman
• It happens because the tradeperson’s email

has been hacked.

26/04/2017 Prestwood Village Association 38

Invoice Fraud (2)

How to prevent it:

• Make a phone call to the builder to verify

account details

• Transfer a nominal amount and check they

have received it before transferring the remainder

• Ensure you change your passwords regularly

to keep your email more secure
