Newcastle upon Tyne City Council, GB designated "No Cold Calling Zones" to prevent front-door crime

Doorstep Crime and No Cold Calling Zones | Newcastle City Council

Doorstep crime is when rogue traders knock at your door and pressure you into buying something or signing up for a service, they may do this by cold calling via the telephone or in a face to face visit. If you are contacted by such traders or are aware of any operating in your residential area, if it is safe to do so please contact us with any information you have about the traders, or if necessary Northumbria Police. Not all traders are dishonest, but there are things you can do to make sure that you don't become a victim;
