ROGUE traders are being targeted as part of a National Consumer Week campaign in Hampshire.

The Good Neighbours Stop Rogue Traders scheme, being run by Hampshire County Council until Tuesday November 11, is asking residents to be on the lookout for doorstep salespeople.

Doorstep crime often focuses on elderly and vulnerable people and can cause mental health problems to victims.

County council leader Cllr Roy Perry said: “All residents should feel safe in their homes and free from unwanted callers.”
