For Kensington Fields To Become A Monitored
A No Cold Calling And A No Junk Mail Zone
We could make Kensington Fields the biggest "No Cold Calling" And "Junk Mail Free Zone" in the UK, It is also important to point out that we live in a Conservation Area containg 1400 homes. A scheme this large has never been setup in the UK and we would be leading they way on reducing doorstep traders, unwanted junk mail and detering doorstep crime within our area. If the average home recieves 640 items of unwanted junk mail per year, Kensington Fields could save almost 1 million items of junk mail in the first year of this scheme.
What Is A No Cold Calling Zone !
Quite simply, this is about local residents or communities having the confidence to say “NO” to uninvited salespeople or to warn rogue traders and cold-callers that they are being watched. Hundreds of zones are now operating successfully across the UK with reports of significant crime reduction and a greater feeling of security amongst residents.
What Is Door Step Crime !
This is crime arising from doorstep callers, bogus workmen, high pressure salespeople, bogus officials and distraction burglary.
Distraction burglary is where the householder is distracted by a caller whilst another robs them. It is now well established that distraction burglaries and rogue doorstep trading are interlinked - all too often, the seemingly innocent doorstep seller is actually checking things out for a re-visit to carry out a burglary or distraction burglary. Whilst this type of criminal behaviour can impact on anybody in any place, research shows that older people and those living alone are particularly at risk.
