I am updating Members on progress made against our Programme for Government commitment to extend the coverage of No Cold Caller Zones in Wales.    

No Cold Caller Zones are aimed at protecting vulnerable residents and reduce the number of doorstep crime incidents. Our aim is to Increase the number of areas in which doorstep callers are not welcome. They are intended to give local residents and communities the confidence to say "no" to uninvited salespeople or to warn rogue traders and cold\-callers they are being watched.


Zones require close partnership working between a number of agencies including the Local Authority, Trading Standards and Police and are a good example of how a collaborative approach across public services can improve the lives of residents.


In March 2013, a baseline established 38,000 homes were covered by No Cold Caller Zones.  In November 2013, Local Authorities were invited to bid for funding to support the creation of No Cold Caller Zones, providing they had already identified this as being required in their area. Twelve Authorities responded and the Welsh Government approved funding for all twelve.


Data from the areas in receipt of the November 2013 Welsh Government funding demonstrate a further15,000 homes have been covered by additional Zones created by this funding. 


The total number of homes covered by Zones will be requested from all Local Authorities, regardless of the date established or the funding mechanism, and these will be published as part of the Programme for Government Annual Report which will be published in June 2015\.  

To date, the feedback received from Local Authorities has been positive, although the message coming from them indicates it is too early at this stage to identify the impact this additional funding may have had. Early evidence appears to suggest there have been fewer callers with a reduction in the numbers of reported incidents.  Residents are also reporting they feel safer in their homes and more able to deal with and report cold callers who breach the zones.

Rwy’n rhoi’r diweddaraf i’r Aelodau ynghylch hynt ein hymrwymiad yn y Rhaglen Lywodraethu i ymestyn yr Ardaloedd Dim Galw Diwahoddiad yng Nghymru.  
Nod Ardal Dim Galw Diwahoddiad yw amddiffyn trigolion agored i niwed a lleihau nifer yr achosion o drosedd ar stepen y drws. Rydym yn ceisio cynyddu nifer yr ardaloedd lle nad oes croeso i alwyr stepen y drws. Eu bwriad yw rhoi’r hyder i drigolion a chymunedau lleol ddweud “na” i werthwyr diwahoddiad neu rybuddio masnachwyr twyllodrus a galwyr diwahoddiad bod rhywun yn eu gwylio.

Mae’r ardaloedd hyn yn gofyn am waith partneriaeth agos rhwng nifer o asiantaethau, gan gynnwys yr awdurdod lleol, safonau masnach a’r heddlu, ac maent yn enghraifft dda o sut gall cydweithredu ar draws gwasanaethau cyhoeddus wella bywydau trigolion.

Ym mis Mawrth 2013, sefydlwyd llinell sylfaenol o 38,000 o gartrefi mewn Ardal Dim Galw Diwahoddiad. Ym mis Tachwedd 2013, gwahoddwyd awdurdodau lleol i wneud cais am gyllid i helpu i greu Ardal Dim Galw Diwahoddiad, ar yr amod eu bod eisoes wedi nodi bod angen gwneud hyn yn eu hardal. Cafwyd ymateb gan ddeuddeg awdurdod a chymeradwyodd Llywodraeth Cymru gyllid ar gyfer pob un ohonynt.  
Mae data o’r ardaloedd a gafodd gyllid Llywodraeth Cymru ym mis Tachwedd 2013 yn dangos bod 15,000 yn fwy o gartrefi bellach mewn Ardaloedd ychwanegol a grëwyd drwy’r cyllid hwn. 

Byddwn yn gofyn i bob awdurdod lleol am gyfanswm nifer y cartrefi yn yr Ardaloedd hyn, waeth ar ba ddyddiad y cawsant eu sefydlu neu sut y cawsant eu hariannu, ac yn cyhoeddi’r niferoedd fel rhan o Adroddiad Blynyddol y Rhaglen  Lywodraethu a gyhoeddir ym mis Mehefin 2015\.

Hyd yn hyn, rydym wedi cael adborth cadarnhaol gan awdurdodau lleol, ond maent yn dweud ei bod yn rhy gynnar i ddweud beth yw effaith y cyllid ychwanegol hwn. Mae’r dystiolaeth gynnar yn awgrymu y bu llai o alwyr a llai o adroddiadau o achosion. Mae trigolion hefyd yn datgan eu bod yn teimlo’n fwy diogel yn eu cartrefi yn gallu ymdrin â galwyr diwahoddiad sy’n torri’r rheolau, ac yn adrodd arnynt.
