Information for residents about our no cold calling sticker scheme
- Are you fed up with receiving visits to your home from cold calling traders?
- Are you concerned about rogue traders calling on your elderly or vulnerable neighbours, looking for work?
If so, say "no" to cold calling doorstep traders with a Coventry Trading Standards door sticker.
We work closely with West Midlands Police and other agencies to help reduce distraction burglary and rogue trading. Our sticker scheme aims to give residents the confidence to deal with cold calling traders.
We are committed to protecting Coventry residents, particularly the elderly and vulnerable, from being taken advantage of by rogue traders. We want to reduce the fear of crime and prevent residents from feeling pressurised on their doorsteps to make decisions that they may not otherwise make.
How to get a 'no cold calling' sticker
Send a stamped addressed envelope to: 'Doorstep Sticker - Trading Standards', Freepost (CV681), Coventry CV1 1BR and we will send you one in the post. Please note that due to postage cost the maximum we can send out is three per stamped address envelope.
