No Cold Calling Zones

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 ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, 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.
