Anti Fraud Hotline in Forest Row – from Inspector Richard Allum

Fraudulent activity in Forest Row can now be reported to a confidential hotline thanks to a new Wealden District Council initiative. The Anti Fraud Hotline is available 24 hours a day and all types of fraud excluding benefit fraud can be discussed. Cllr Pam Doodes, leader of the district council, said the council needed to be "as vigilant as possible. Although I'm confident that fraud is extremely rare at Wealden, I am firmly behind our initiatives to root out any fraud that does exist" she said. "The new hotline will make it easier for the public and council employees to report fraud in confidence and I encourage anyone who comes across illegal practices to use it."

The free number was established following a recent review of the council's anti-fraud and anti-corruption framework, which is available at www.wealden.gov.uk

Anyone who wishes to report any suspected fraudulent activity will be asked to provide as much information as possible and email reports can also be made

To report any suspected activity call 0800 0853278 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
