Calls to ban ‘cold calling’ on estate

COLD callers could be banned on a Brighouse estate after more than half its residents pledged their support for a police campaign to end the practice.

Police officers have been knocking on doors and speaking to people living on Whinney Hill Park estate about the possibility of installing a “cold calling control zone”.

So far more than 50 per cent of residents have told police that they would like the area to be free of cold calling.
