With reference to your concerns with the canvassers in the area. If you are selling items then you need a peddlers licence. A charity can canvas in the area , the normal procedure would be to make us aware by email that they are canvasing. , the Red Cross did in fact inform us that they were canvassing in the area on this occasion.
If members of the public call us out with concerns we would attend and stop check them to make sure all was in order. A no cold calling zone is a deterrent because the community don’t want this to happen in their local area.
May I advise that members of the public don’t answer the doors if they are unsure and not expecting a visit. Unfortunately we can’t stop them from doing this, but we can certainly make sure that they are safe and aren’t in the areas for other reasons.
