Cold Calling

Some people knock on doors to sell things or offer work. This is called cold calling. Sometimes, these people are not honest and may try to trick you.

Hartlepool Council wants to help stop this. They have made 'No Cold Calling Zones' to keep people safe and they are designed to help protect people from unwanted doorstep sellers and rogue traders who may try to scam or pressure residents into buying goods or services. 

The zones are set up on local areas where people may be more vulberable, and residents can display free stickersto show that cold callers are not welcome.

If someone ignores the signs and stickers and continues to cold call, they could face legal action.
