Residents help show '˜cold callers' the door in bid to tackle rogue traders
Using the “No Cold Calling Zone...no uninvited traders” window stickers - developed in association with Trading Standards - the initiative is hoped to keep rogue traders at bay in the area
Acting as a deterrent, the stickers tell cold callers that they are not wanted at that particular door and provide a contact number to report those who ignore the warning.

ABC PCSP Chair, Councillor Máire Cairns said,“No Cold Calling Zones are designed to discourage rogue traders who may be trying to sell poor-quality or overpriced goods, or who try to trick their way into the house to commit a burglary.”
No Cold Calling Zone window stickers are available on request from your local Crime Prevention Officer by calling 101 or from ABC PCSP by calling 0300 0300 900.
