Crossflatts residents are closing the door on rogue traders, doorstep criminals and unwanted salespeople.

They have joined a new Cold Calling Control Zone which aims to stop people calling on them using various scams.

The campaign is led by West Yorkshire Trading Standards and in Crossflatts is funded by Shipley Area Committee.

Research across the UK has shown that the zones reduce overall crime in their areas.

Chairman David Heseltine said criminals pose as salespeople or bogus utility company officials.
