PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

Jody Nightingale from ERYC briefed the Parish Council about the “No Cold Calling” scheme. This service is free of charge at the moment. The aim of the scheme is to prevent door salesman and other organisations from calling unannounced or uninvited in the neighbourhood. If this scheme is adopted residents will be issued with a sticker to put on their doors/windows advertising the fact that they live in a no cold calling area and do not want organisations or businesses calling them unless they have been invited. Street signs will also be displayed once the scheme has been adopted. Jody suggested that to start the scheme individual roads and streets should be asked if they want to join the scheme. Everyone must be in agreement to the scheme before it will be introduced. A petition sheet will be distributed and if they agree to sign the document. Once a scheme is introduced if cold callers do call there is a complaints phone number to the Council who will then contact the organisation to inform that there should not be entering that particular area any longer. The council is hoping that this scheme will one day be made into an Act of Parliament. Jody also warned of several scams that are operating at the moment and for people to be vigilant.
