Police often urge residents to exercise caution if Nottingham Knockers come to the door. But despite seeing the term used more and more, many of us are still unsure what it means exactly.
What are Nottingham Knockers? Typically, police forces have been describing Nottingham Knockers as door-to-door traders, selling you goods on your doorstep, often for over-inflated prices. These will often be cheap household items they re trying to sell you, with some of the sellers claiming to be on a rehabilitation scheme and trying to find work. Often they may have a false ID or trading permit. It is important to say that Nottingham Knockers are not part of any officially recognised rehabilitation scheme.
