Rogue trader facing jail for scamming 90-year-old into paying £56K for garden work - including £42K for artificial grass

Summary by Ground News
Michael Gorman, 46, charged his elderly victim, Roy Wilcox, £900 to remove some small trees; £1,400 for a new fence; and £12,500 to install concrete paving. Gorman was not jailed immediately on Tuesday, January 2, so he could arrange for care to be provided for his own elderly mother who has dementia. Judge Heather Norton said it was “difficult to conceive’ of her not jailing Gorman immediately for his crimes.
