How Is Springfield's 'No Knock' List Working for You?

Is the list keeping solicitors at bay or do you still hear the gentle (and not so gentle) rapping on your front door?

In late October it was announced that Springfield residents would have the option of registering online for the Town's “No Knock List.”

By registering, residents are indicating that they do not want persons to approach their homes and/or seek personal contact with the occupants of the registered home. According to an announcement on the official Springfield website, once registered, it shall be unlawful for any peddler, panhandler or solicitor to approach/or seek personal contact with the occupants there if that residence is registered on the “No Knock List.”

Patch wants to know, did you register, and if so, is it keeping solicitors at bay or do they still come knocking?

Registration on the “No Knock List” expires five years after the end of the calendar year of registration, unless renewed by notifying the Township Clerk’s Office.
