Spring Means More Solicitors
|
|
As spring moves into summer, the number of solicitors out in our community tends to increase. Residents have several options for refusing unwanted solicitations. Take a moment to understand your rights and the many ways you can partner with the Village to keep unwanted solicitation under control.
Amberley Village Code states that solicitation is only permitted in the Village if a solicitor complies with specific provisions, including registration with the Police Department, and permission from the property owner or occupant
. If you do NOT wish to grant permission for solicitors to enter upon your property, one or more of the following gives the Police Department grounds to enforce your wishes:
|
|
- Amberley Village Police Department keeps an updated Do Not Solicit list, so be sure and register by calling 531-2040 if you choose not to welcome solicitors on your property.
- Posting signage on your property indicating “No Solicitors” or “No Solicitation” refuses permission to solicit.
- Verbal communication to the solicitor that you do not want to speak to the solicitor or want the solicitor on the premise is enough to allow enforcement if the solicitor does not leave.
- Be sure and contact the Police Department IMMEDIATELY with information about the solicitor, including the company being represented and which direction they were going. This better enables Police to catch up with the solicitor and ensure he or she is in compliance with Village Code.

Dogs Under Control at Amberley Green

While dogs are permitted to run off-leash, please remember off leash does not mean out of control.

- Please keep dogs from jumping on other dogs or people
- Dogs may run off-leash, but must be under voice control

- Keep your dog under control
- Dog owners should respect the space of walkers and those with dogs on-leash by requesting permission for your dog to approach
