No Cold Calling Zones- Information

A number of neighbourhood forum chairs have asked recently for more information regarding "No Cold Calling Zones" in the City. “Cold calling” or doorstep calling is when someone calls at your home without a prior invitation. It is normally carried out by traders or sales people trying to sell a product or service and is a legal method of doing business. Other organisations which cold call on the doorstep include charities, religious groups and political parties at election time. You can find a toolkit, sample letter and a number of resources to help you set up a zone at the following link: No Cold Calling Zones
