No Cold Calling Zones Double Up In Nursling
Hampshire County Council is supporting residents in part of Test Valley to keep the rogue traders away, with the introduction today (1 July 2009) of Nursling's second No Cold Calling Zone.
The County Council's Trading Standards and Hampshire Constabulary recognise that most cold callers represent legitimate companies, yet the hard, pressurised selling tactics adopted by a minority of unscrupulous callers can often be intimidating for householders, particularly the elderly and vulnerable.
Discouraging Rogue Traders
‘No Cold Calling Zones' are aimed at discouraging rogue traders from approaching people living in the zone and give residents the confidence to say ‘no' to people seeking business at their doorsteps. They are not meant to stop legitimate callers such as charities, the local Avon representative, councillors or MPs, but to deter people who are unknown to the residents, from seeking work that is often overpriced and/or unnecessary.
The latest zone covers 135 homes in Upton Crescent bringing the total in Nursling to 245. They are the result of a partnership with:
* Hampshire County Council Trading Standards and Community Safety Services
* The police
* Test Valley Borough Council
* Nursling and Rownhams Parish Council.
Help For Residents
Residents living in the areas are all being given special No Cold Calling Zone packs, containing information about the zone, consumer advice and information on cancellation rights. Also included are window stickers, telling visitors that cold callers are not welcome, and a copy of the new and improved ‘Buy With Confidence' directory of traders approved by Trading Standards. The directory now contains information on over 500 organisations from more than 100 different trades.
Deputy Leader of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Roy Perry, said:
"No Cold Calling Zones have been helping thousands of households see a significant reduction in the number of cold calls they receive, and there are now zones covering 5,164 households across every Hampshire district. Each zone has been specially selected to have the most impact based on local knowledge and positive support from residents. This sends out a firm message that rogue traders and distraction burglars are not welcome in Hampshire."
Melody Manning, Crime Prevention Officer for Hampshire Constabulary covering the Test Valley District said,
"This No Cold Calling Zone has been set up with full support by residents. All households have received a visit and been offered welcome packs and stickers so that they can take part in advertising the zone, which will also be done with the signs that have been erected on lamp columns. This is a partnership scheme, where we work together in order to protect our communities."
To report any concerns regarding cold callers phone Hampshire Constabulary on 0845 045 45 45 and ask to be put through to your local police station or contact the Trading Standards Quick Response team on 08454 04 05 06.
