Pelham fraud

The Niagara Regional Police Service is warning residents of door-to-door sales fraud. Recent complaints have been received from residents of Pelham reporting sales people seeking to inspect water meters to determine if the meters have water filters. Residents are left with the impression that the inspection was being conducted on behalf of the town. The Niagara Regional Police Service has confirmed that such inspections are not affiliated with the Town of Pelham. While many legitimate businesses seek customers through door-to-door sales, there are some sales people that employ high pressure pitches and some that will mislead potential customers. The Niagara Regional Police Service reminds the public that before entering into any contract or making any purchase, take the time to verify all claims and not to be pressured into making a quick decision. Complaints regarding door-todoor sales people can be made to the Ministry of Consumer Services. If you feel you may be the victim of a fraud, report the matter to the Niagara Regional Police Service but ensure you have taken the steps to protect your rights under the Consumer Protection Act. Visit the Ministry of Consumer Services at www.sse.gov.on.ca/ mcs/en/pages/default.aspx for information.

Is Farmers’ Market on the move? BY SARAH MURRELL VOICE Staff Should the market move, or not? That’s the question that seems to have local businesses and market vendors at odds this spring. With the popularity of the free concerts

in Peace Park along with Pelham’s Farmers’ Market on Thursday evenings, parking in downtown Fonthill is at a premium on Thursdays. Mayor Dave Augustyn started a conversation last August to discuss how to deal with parking issues in the downtown core. Augustyn said meetings between local retailers and market vendors, with the town

as facilitator, have been taking place since then. The idea of moving the market, he said, evolved out of those meetings. “We are looking at how might we make parking better and increase support for local business,” said Augustyn in explaining the meetings. See MARKET/page 5
