Two new zones in Penzance and Hayle
Cornwall Council has launched two more No Cold Caller Zones to protect residents from rogue traders and other doorstep criminals. The latest zones cover Close Hill in Penzance and the Amal-an-Avon estate in Hayle.
Signs have gone up across both areas. Residents have also been given stickers to put on their doors, telling cold callers to stay away.
What the rules mean for callers
Cold calling inside a No Cold Caller Zone is against the law. Anyone prosecuted could be fined or sentenced to up to two years in prison.
