Park. As pointed out by member Bob
Loxley at a previous meeting it is unusual to see any vehicles paying for
parking, due to unrealistically high charges, and the requirement of a smart
phone to make the payments, so that if this could be made free there would be
minimal loss to TDC. Under the freedom
of information act is it possible to be advised of the annual revenue collected
for this car park? Free parking would
encourage visitors and relieve local residents of street parking round their
houses and flats which is considerable in the summer. Cllr Ash said she has raised this before
unsuccessfully as the council’s thinking is for the revenue to pay for upkeep
and repairs, but she would try again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

introduced themselves to those present.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Tom King, the new chairman,
expressed his wish that the W&WRA will continue and will be rebuilt, and
reviewed some of what it had achieved over the sixty one years of existence.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Accounts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Richard Banning, of R&B Solutions, and
other members asked how members’ money had been spent, value for money and
accountability.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Tom King replied that a full set
of audited accounts would be made available for the AGM in May as had always
been the practice, and would be available on paper or in the magazine when re-introduced.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Website.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A request for a W&WRA website was made from
the floor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Constitution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will be carefully looked up and
recommendations made to bring it up to date.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For £3 per year subscription what
do members get?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In answer to the
question Tom King said there were files of issues that the W&WRA had fought
on behalf of members, there is social inclusion, and representation and there
will again be a magazine, and social events. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Magazine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Derek Smith a previous editor of the
W&WRA magazine said it had been difficult to obtain sufficient copy for
this and had had to write up some articles himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A newsletter or magazine was an excellent way
of maintaining communication with members.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Venue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Several members from the floor expressed
regret at the loss of the regular meeting and coffee place at the Bake House as
this had facilitated contact and communication, one member had made many
friends there after moving to Westgate.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Road Stewards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully this system will be re-introduced.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Noticeboards. The one near “Krusty
Cobs” will be in use, and a second one may be sought.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Monthly Report.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Jacquie supplied copies of the report, stating that if any<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>members required more copies or a copy sent
by email she would be happy to oblige.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Members subscriptions are still coming in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Three meetings rent had been paid to the Bowls Club,
and the treasurer thought it may be a good idea to ask for a block booking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Invoices for use of the Bake House are due.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Storage of some items belonging to the W&WRA in
the old air raid shelter, some of which could be of value, requires attention
as it is extremely damp, and stored papers have already deteriorated, and other
items are likely to be damaged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some
furniture is being stored in the cinema but this is not in very good
condition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The W&WRA also owns a
hostess trolley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A proposal by James
Brazier sec. By Don Eacott that excess furniture be disposed of or sold off was
put on hold until an inventory has been carried out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joanna volunteered to carry out the inventory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Jacquie told the meeting that for papers etc there
is a filing cabinet for W&WRA use in the WTC offices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There was then a heated discussion concerning
membership and the amount of subscriptions paid which was difficult to resolve
as both the offices of membership secretary, and secretary were vacant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don Eacott proposed that we accept the books
now as they are and then we move forward as we need to work together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">At this point Mandy Rickett was asked by the
vice-chair if she was willing to be co-opted to the committee to help, and this
was agreed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Gina told the meeting<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that there had been a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>great deal of hostility at each meeting, and
that she had received from an anonymous source communications of an obscene and
disgusting nature by text message, and consequently she and the treasurer would
be resigning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There would be an emergency (extra-ordinary) meeting
on 30<sup>th</sup> October 7.00pm at the Bake House to elect new officers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The vice-chair then adjourned the meeting at 8.40pm.

was going to resign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had taken early
retirement from school work, and was hoping to do voluntary work in the
community in addition to her work with the Global Church. Linda said she had
received moans and complaints, possibly by small groups spoiling things, and
she did not wish to be part of this or give time to moaners. She intended to
seek other voluntary work in the community. At this point Linda left the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Gina informed the meeting that several committee members
had received nasty and threatening communications which was totally
unacceptable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">James Brazier and Don Eacott agreed and hoped there
would be more positivity in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There were now several vacancies on the committee to
be filled. Gina introduced Julian Dungey recently co-opted to the committee.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Comments and suggestions were invited, there were no
further offers to serve on the committee forthcoming, some members expressed
the hope that more younger people would serve on the committee.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">James Brazier queried the necessity and expense of
employing an auditor for checking the last five years, and several members
agreed and thought we should start afresh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sylvia Sykes recommended that we should appoint a fully qualified
auditor for the this year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All agreed
that balances for the year end carried forward should be shown on accounts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Don Eacott suggested that plans for events be made
for twelve months ahead so that all members can be kept informed in good
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gina replied that this was in fact
now being done, a date in mind being the VE day anniversary on 8<sup>th</sup>
May 2020.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Gina asked for support and help for the committee in
order to continue, and this was agreed unanimously on a prop by Tony Sykes sec
by Lorraine Hambidge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Gina pointed out that the constitution needs to be
updated by adding provision for codes of conduct, child protection safeguarding
etc, and suggestions for these would be brought to a future general meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There were no matters arising.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">REPORT FROM THE CHAIR: (Gina May):<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Election of Committee at the AGM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On examination of the constitution it
appeared that several nominations had been made at the AGM and not fourteen
days before this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order to regularize
this those members were subsequently asked to stand down and offered
reinstatement with co-option by the committee so that the end result would be
the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One member had resigned in
writing. The new committee would shortly introduce themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Gina stated she will work to make the W&WRA
inclusive and welcoming, and able to address needs,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and be part of the community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ways of increasing the membership with all
ages will be sought, and the W&WRA needs a unique identity, and to work
with WTC.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There is a need to modernise and bring the
constitution up to date adding child protection, safeguarding and inclusion etc
which will then enable applications for grants to be made.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There is a need for a permanent multifunctional
space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There will be some dramatic changes planned, the
magazine as a separate entity will cease and will be incorporated with a local
circulation together with joining forms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Coffee mornings, there is a need to increase
attendance at these.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Others possibilities are to run stalls at local
fayres and revive the Westgate one, Christmas party, and to take back the
pancake races which could be relaunched in 1950s style.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>VE Day celebrations with baking and talks for
local schools.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Save Our Stroke
Units.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The chairman introduced Pauline
Barratt and Dr Coral Jones campaigning to save four local stroke units, and not
reducing East Kent to three only which would exclude the unit<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>at the QEQM Hospital, thereby causing a road
journey of over an hour for patients to be taken to Ashford, when fast treatment
for the condition is so essential. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
idea has come about due to budgets, and could even lead to the A&E unit
being downgraded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has now been
referred back to the Secretary of Health and the vote has been delayed until
after 2<sup>nd</sup> May (when elections for councillors takes place).</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
A question from the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>floor asked about the “staff shortages” referred to, but it appeared
that there has not been a proactive policy for recruiting staff, in fact some
members present had had members of staff in their family being told that their
jobs would not be there in the future.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
Residents were asked to be active in contacting their KCC
Councillors, (details may be found on the website).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The speakers were warmly thanked.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Community Life
Savers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The chairman then introduced
Petra and Nicky, who are keen to see more defibrillators and trained local
residents available.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Access to
defibrillators needs to be quick as the ambulance service is stretched and may
take some time to arrive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A question
from the floor, how do we get one?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is by calling 999 when you will be informed where the nearest one is, for
Westbrook it was thought that the Bowls Club would make a good position if a
cabinet could be put up on the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>perimeter.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
Two hours of training is offered free of charge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a Thanet initiative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

</span>James Brazier noted that in the report of the proposed “Westgate in Bloom”
in the Gazette the war memorial<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>had been
described as “in a state of disrepair”, and this was incorrect. Cllr Scott
agreed to rectify this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Chris Whittingham reported that a Westbrook resident
had a wheelie bin which had blown over and broken the lid hinges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On contacting TDC to request a repair he had
been told he would have to have a new one as they did not now carry out
repairs, and the charge would be £48.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This did not only seem wasteful but could prove very difficult for any
resident unable to afford it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cllr
Ashbee agreed to look into this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Ray Taylor said details of “Westgate in Bloom” had

report.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Laura's main work is with the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>council, highways issues, rubbish, fly tips,

are now<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>undertaking new work including
visits to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>vulnerable residents and any
referrals that may be required, and help so that residents may stay in their

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In his penultimate month as chairman for the year
Ray said it had been a difficult year, Mick Tomlinson had been unable to carry
on, and there had been many difficulties, but the W&WRA is now strong and
in a good position and will be focusing onto the communities as a whole and
less in the Bake House.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Items being arranged in the community include Easter
Egg hunt (April), Beach Party (June), supporting WTC with Westgate in Bloom and
Westgate Day, and sponsoring<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the town
Christmas tree.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Some items belonging to the W&WRA, or to
individual members, will need to be cleared from the shelter, and members need
to decide how and what is done with the various items in the store, these
include: tables and chairs, pictures and prints (the picture of the town hall
belongs to Kath Bonner), hostess trolley, speakers and microphones (these are
currently on loan to WTC), chest of drawers (purchased from a gift left to the
W&WRA in memory of Barbara Whitlock), and a roll desk, photo albums,
cushions, and a complete set of W&WRA “Record” magazines, and the china.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">For the April general meeting a young lady from the

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A suggestion to purchase a bench from the proceeds
of the sale of the items listed was made, Cllr Messenger recommended the price
of such a bench be checked as the value of the second hand furniture may not be
sufficient.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">CHAIRMAN'S REPORT<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The chairman thanked the Bake and Alehouse for
installing a defibrillator, and also thanked Westgate Town Council for publishing
a list of locations of defibrillators in Westgate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Concerning the Bake House, there had been<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>changes in terms and conditions which had
caused issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Financial analysis showed
that at the new hourly rental, a two hour coffee morning would be £17, during
which takings might be about £5, and if open for the five mornings each week
would create a loss of £3,000 per year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>During the four months closure of the Bake House many of the members had
come to enjoy coffee mornings at several different venues, and the committee
had suggested trying Wednesday mornings at the Bake House for a trial period,
and the alternate monthly general meetings on the second Monday evenings which
would reduce outgoings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The W&WRA would
have to remove their furniture, papers and records, and photo albums etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">It is hoped that we could concentrate on a wider age
group and families in the community, by putting on events such as an Easter Egg
hunt, a Beach Party, and joining up with Westgate in Bloom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The Chairman expressed concern at the option offered
by the Landlords that the W&WRA should promote and seek other renters for
the Bake House, things can go wrong with sub renters and the W&WRA are not
qualified as letting agents, and who would manage and facilitate such bookings?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Don Eacott had always thought that the Bake House
was a white elephant, with the large number of members subsidising the few who
use it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A vote was taken on the chairman's proposal to
request use of the Bake House for Wednesday mornings for coffee, and the
alternate monthly general meetings on the second Monday evenings for a trial
period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was passed by 15 votes to 3
with a few abstentions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
The Bake House:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
had been agreed that the W&WRA would vacate the Bake House to allow for
repairs and decoration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The return date
for the W&WRA had been given as 5<sup>th</sup> November which would have
given time to reinstate the furniture and erect the poppy tribute.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Subsequently the chairman was informed that
further works were necessary, and on 2<sup>nd</sup> January received a text
stating that the Bake House would be available to us from 21<sup>st</sup>
January.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ray had then asked if committee
members could move in on 18<sup>th</sup> January to reinstate the furniture and
tidy up prior to opening the doors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
reply asked for a meeting to discuss this further, at which he was told that
there would no longer be a monthly agreement, but the W&WRA would be charged
on an hourly basis, (and would not have sole use of the Bake House).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On this basis the cost of the hire for each
coffee morning would considerably exceed the average takings and we would lose
the income from sub-letting the Bake House to other groups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reason given for this change was that the
Bake House was under utilised and unfriendly.<o:p></o:p></div>

was agreed to put our thoughts to the membership and ask for their ideas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Possible ideas from the committee were:<o:p></o:p></div>

Joanna Cornford replied that the Bake House could have
been available for 5<sup>th</sup> November except for final adjustments, but
the work people were called away for an emergency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She thought that the better option for the
W&WRA would be by hourly rental, and the Bake House would be open to all
organisations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would be acceptable
for the W&WRA to leave their furniture and items in the Bake House, and the
Bake House now has WiFi and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a
reconditioned PC that residents may use for training and learning<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The previous rent was £260 per month plus

This could not have been achieved without the help of volunteers from Thanet coast Project, WASPS, Westgate and Westbrook Residents' Association, Dane Valley Woods and of course the Bumble Bee Trust and Councillor Ash Ashby. Thank you everyone who helped and I hope I have not forgotten anyone.<br />
<br />
When these blossom they will provide nectar for bees and hope stem the decline of some of the at risk bumble bees.<br />

requesting payments for “Phantom” debts.
These are cold calls by someone purporting to be a debt collector or
bailiff, and may claim to be working under instructions of a court to recover
