Children climbing on roofs

Dear resident,

Following a report on Wednesday evening 27/08/2025 at approximately 17:30, the Woodside and Madeley SNT attended two abandoned buildings in relation to children climbing on the roofs.  

Are these your children?

Children climbing on abandoned buildings are at risk of harm or serious injury from unstable structures and hazardous material like mould, asbestos and lead paint. There is a high risk of injuries from broken glass, fallen debris or uneven surfaces. We would like to urge parents to educate their children around the danger of entering or climbing on buildings.

If you would like to discuss this matter further please contact SNT officer PC Barrett on 07967300040, alternatively you can contact me Senior PCSO Katy Balaam on 07814054228.

Kind regards

PCSO Katy Balaam
