Family of cowboys from Cleveleys nar Blackpool have been sent down for a total of 20 years for conning people into having dodgy block paving laid, including charging one old bloke 800 quid to seal his block paving.....with milk!
The cranially-challenged crew even put a video of them using the milk onto YouTube ....now that's clever!
Thankfully, that's one less cowboy crowd besmirching our trade for a few years.
Scum!

Im glad this has happened at very long last!! Ive worked in this area for years and Budget Paving as they were known have been operating this way for at least 10yr that im aware of. Ive ripped up a few of there drives and put them back down for peanuts to help a few elderly folk out. Im glad there inside, but i think all of them have been inside before through drugs and unaccountable money. In my opinion its utterly disgusting that its taken so long and so many people have been had when i no for a fact that they were reported to all authorities on a monthly if not weekly basis and they always opperated under the same name!! Sometime i wonder if its worth having some of these official bodies that us tax payers fund when these people are so blatant and very little gets done! They will be back im sure.. same name prob! couple year inside doing every plant licence available even crane ticket (as one lad i know spent 8 weeks doing this!!)

I've heard of the use of natural yoghurt to encourage the growth of moss to "age" block work and paving but never heard of milk being used to seal it.
Glad to see these cowboys get their comeuppance.

Its always nice to see them get whats coming to them.
I was watching that dale farm eviction on TV a bit a go and even though I didn't agree with that eviction (all they are doing is moving the problem on elsewhere) I couldn't help but take a bit of satisfaction from seeing the Pikies get turned over for a change

Quick update on the original topic, the family concerned has been ordered to pay the courts £965,000.00 within 6 months or each serve another 4 years! the father was found to have £265,000.00 in safe deposit box, £700,000.00 in various accounts an £17000.00 in cash at home. God knows how much else he had stashed, his sons had plenty of cash stashes 2 according to local paper. An they say crime dosnt pay! maybe on this rare occasion it would seem some of the punishment is fitting!
