Advice of the Advisory Panel

That the Executive Member be advised:

(i)           That requests from residents, the police and other interested parties to set up additional zones be responded to by Trading Standards officers, and the existing work programme and assessment of the impact of the initial zones on doorstep crime be taken into account in further expansion of the scheme;

(ii)     That a further report be brought to Members within 6 months with a review of the scheme.  

Decision of the Executive Member

RESOLVED:That the advice of the Advisory Panel be accepted and endorsed.

REASON:This option enables officers to develop the zones in response to demand, in a prioritised and controlled manner within the existing work programme.  Additional Cold Calling Controlled Zones will be extended once the impact of doorstep crime and residents’ concerns about doorstep crime has been assessed.
