Dear residents,
Spring has arrived! As we set our clocks forward this weekend, we can enjoy those longer evenings, but let’s not overlook home safety. While it’s great to shake off the winter chill and let in some fresh air, be cautious about window security. It might be tempting to leave a top-floor window ajar or a conservatory window unlatched. Always ensure that doors and windows are securely closed and locked, and don’t forget to keep your patio doors and outdoor areas safe as well.
Here are some more useful tips to help keep you and your home safe this Spring by following these useful tips: Use window locks to prevent intruders from easily opening your windows. Consider installing a home security system with visible cameras and alarm systems to deter burglars. Keep your valuables out of sight. Close blinds or curtains to prevent prying eyes from scouting your belongings. Shutting the blinds will keep your house cooler. Going away? Post can be dropped in a secure key lockbox to receive post while you are away. If you are expecting parcels, divert them to a trusted neighbor or to a delivery pick-up point. Hosting family or friends in your garden - don’t invite burglars to the party. Keep your side entrance, back door, or garden gate closed/locked. Tidying the garage or dusting off the bikes for spring adventures? Lock up and keep that garage door closed. It takes seconds for thieves to spot and take expensive tools/bikes/motor vehicles. For extra security keep porch doors locked, wheelie bins away from low fences or garages, and sheds secure.
