TRADERS in South Norwood are proving they are responsible retailers by signing up to a scheme to avoid selling restricted goods to underage customers.

Shops will be piloting "Agecheck Croydon" which involves staff asking for age ID from anyone who looks to be under 25.

The scheme has been launched by Croydon Council's Trading Standards team and will initially focus in South Norwood.

It covers the sale of alcohol, tobacco, butane gas, knives, fireworks and solvents to under 18s.
