Dear Resident

We have received a call regarding some Nottingham Knockers around the St Martins area of Oswestry. 

These are persons calling door to door asking residents to purchase items such as dusters and tea cloths as they are rehabilitating from crime.  Sometimes, they can be forceful and we are advising to keep the chain on your doors when answering so that you have the opportunity of closing it if the situation becomes uncomfortable.  It has been known in the past that callers can become aggressive and refuse to leave unless a purchase is made.

We advise that if any sort of salesman comes to your property selling any form of product, to not be persuaded to purchase anything and not to exchange any money for what is quite often a poor quality product.

Please keep a watchful eye for these sellers or any vulnerable neighbours that you believe could be targeted.
