You will not get *quality* block paving for that price in that part of the country. You'd be lucky to get quality paving for that price in Scotland or N.Ireland where prices are lowest of all in UK.
What you will get is cowboys, taxi drivers, chancers, bodgers and rogues.
You should *always* buy on quality, not on price.
