🎉 Happy New Year from Your Local Team! Stay Safe While Celebrating

As we welcome the New Year, we’d like to wish all our residents a safe and happy celebration. If you’re heading out to enjoy the festivities, please keep these safety tips in mind:

✅ Plan Ahead

Arrange your transport home before you go out. Book a taxi or nominate a designated driver.

Avoid walking home alone late at night – stick with friends or use well-lit routes.

✅ Drink Responsibly

Know your limits and pace yourself.

Never leave your drink unattended.

✅ Keep Valuables Secure

Only take what you need and keep your phone, wallet, and keys safe.

Be aware of pickpockets in crowded areas.

✅ Look Out for Each Other

Stay with your group and check in on friends.

If someone is in distress or vulnerable, offer help or call for assistance.

✅ Emergency Contacts

In an emergency, dial 999. For non-emergencies, call 101.

You can also use the StreetSafe app to report concerns about safety in public places.

Let’s make this New Year a joyful and safe one for everyone. Happy New Year from all of us – here’s to a fantastic 2026!
