No Cold Calling Zones
Our Trading Standards team have worked with residents to designate a number of areas in Lambeth as No Cold Calling Zones (NCCZ).
A NCCZ is an area where residents have stated that they do not wish to receive unsolicited visits (cold calls) to their homes. They are primarily intended to act as a deterrent to rogue traders and distraction burglars, and are a declaration to those involved in cold calling that residents will report suspect activities to Trading Standards.
If you are having building or repair work done, and you were not given any paperwork explaining your cancellation rights before the work started, you can report your concerns to us and we will investigate.

Making your street a NCCZ
If you would like your street to be a designated NCCZ you will first need to form a Neighbourhood Watch. Once this is done you can contact us to discuss the possibility of becoming a NCCZ.
