A No Cold Calling Zone (NCCZ) is an area in which a majority of residents have stated that they do not want traders to call at their homes without being invited.
We have set up zones in Edinburgh, in partnership with Police Scotland, the sheltered housing team and local residents.
The zones have been designed to
- reduce doorstep crime, bogus workmen and distraction burglaries
- deter cold callers
- educate residents and empower them to refuse cold callers.
There are currently over 130 zones throughout the city, protecting an estimated 12,500 homes. Further zones are always under development.
