Trading Standards Update - 05/09/2012

05/09/2012 ‘Cowboy Builder’ is First Warwickshire Trader with ASBO 

Paul David Henstone has become the first Warwickshire trader to be issued with an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) after being branded by a Judge as a “Cowboy Builder”, Warwickshire County Council’s Trading Standards Service has announced. 

Henstone, who was recently imprisoned for fraud, carried out shoddy building work at homes across the region and had previously undertaken to improve his business practices. 

However, he failed to do this and on Tuesday 28th August 2012 at Coventry County court, the presiding Judge, Mr Gregory made an anti-social behaviour order against him. Should he breach the order he faces up to two years in prison.
