Ban unsolicited marketing or doorstep cold calling and scams

We call on the government to introduce legislation that makes unsolicited doorstep selling & cold calling a criminal offense. Every year, thousands mainly the elderly, isolated, and vulnerable are targeted on their own doorsteps by rogue traders, aggressive salespeople, and sophisticated scammers. Home should be a safe haven, yet we believe it has become a hunting ground for exploitative financial practices. In our view "No Cold Calling" zones and window stickers offer a minor deterrent, they lack strict legal teeth.
