Bristol Man Jailed After Defrauding Elderly Residents
A Bristol man has been sentenced to two years and four months in prison for defrauding elderly residents in the city.
The offences were committed during 2013 when he on several occasions took money from two victims, a man in his 70s and a woman in her 80s, for gardening work which was never carried out. Dale Claverly was subsequently arrested and later convicted of two offences of fraud.
Cleverly, 53,was sentenced to two years and four months and 18 months both offences. Both sentences will be served concurrently.
PC Joscella Thomason, who investigated the offences, said: "Dale Cleverly is a fraudster who has pressured elderly residents in our city to hand over money for work which was never done. In my view he knew he was targeting a part of our society who are often the most vulnerable and this makes his crimes all the more despicable."
BAM Secures £10.5m Contract
BAM Construction has secured a £10.5 million contract to build the Nottingham University Academy of Science and Technology.
The project has now commenced on site.
The contractor, which has offices in Derby, is constructing the three-storey building for the Academy and its partners Djanogly Learning Trust and the University of Nottingham.
To be built on the site of the former Dunkirk Fire Station off the A52, the facility will have capacity for 800 young learners aged 14 to 19.
The academy, which is supported by companies including Toshiba, XMA, Siemens and Rolls Royce, will place a heavy emphasis on business-led project learning.
BAM is constructing a prominent landmark building that also provides a sheltered courtyard in the middle, protected by the academy buildings from the noise of the main road.
Mechanical ventilation will be used throughout the academy due to the proximity to the A52.
