Borough residents should know that they can prohibit salespeople from knocking on their doors. A person soliciting door-to-door in a neighborhood is required under Borough ordinance to register with the police department where they will receive a solicitation permit. The permit should be on the person who is soliciting and they should produce it if asked by the resident. When and entity or person applies for a solicitation permit they are given a list of homes that to not permit solicitation. All residents may stop by the police department to register their home as a do not solicit address.

As most residents of Baldwin Borough know, Verizon is offering cable services in the Borough. This means residents will have an option of cable providers: Comcast or Verizon. Borough Council thought that residents would like to have a series of questions to ask a cable provider to assist them in making a choice. The questions to pose are:

Are there any activation or installation fees?

Are there any charges or rental fees to connect more than one phone, computer or TV?

Does the company bill a month in advance or retroactively for the past month?

What will be the total amount of the first bill, and subsequent bills, including taxes and fees?

Are there charges from repair calls?

Are there termination fees?

If you cancel a service, what do you do with the equipment?

Is there a “grace period” to cancel the service without a termination fee?
