A rogue trader named Robert Christopher Hughes has been sentenced to three years and four months in jail after defrauding an elderly Swindon couple. Hughes admitted to two charges of fraud dating back to October 2019. He operated through his company, Newstone Driveways and Patios Limited, which was dissolved in 2021. The victims paid £8,250 to Hughes for work, including a replacement driveway and patio, but a surveyor's inspection revealed that the driveway had been incorrectly built above the level of the property's damp-proof course and needed to be rebuilt. Hughes was sentenced to two years and three years for the fraud offenses, to run concurrently, and an additional four months for his repeated failure to attend court. He will serve half of the three-year and four-month sentence before being released on licence. Hughes had previous convictions for similar offenses, including defrauding an elderly lady in 2011 and defrauding five other victims in 2017.
