Dear residents, With many residents planning holidays and trips abroad, we’d like to remind everyone to take extra care to keep your property secure while you’re away. Simple steps can make a big difference: • Ensure all doors and windows are locked before you leave.
• Use timer switches for lights to make your home look occupied.
• Ask a trusted neighbour, friend or family member to keep an eye on your property.
• Avoid sharing holiday plans or live updates on social media.
• Move valuables out of sight and consider using a safe.
• Secure sheds, garages and garden gates.
• Leave no spare keys outside the property. If you notice anything suspicious in your area, please report it to police. In an emergency, always dial 999. Let’s continue to look out for one another and keep our neighbourhood safe. Your local Safer Neighbourhood Team |
