PEOPLE are encouraged to support a 'Good Neighbours Stop Rogue Traders' campaign.

Hampshire County Council's Trading Standards want people to look out for conmen preying on elderly and vulnerable neighbours.

With 170,000 incidents of doorstep crime nationally last year, the National Consumer Week campaign encourages neighbours, friends, families and carers to discourage these traders, who often cold call and offer to carry out repairs which are poor quality, unnecessary and charged at extortionate prices.
