Community safety update

Dear residents 

                                                                             Community safety update

With the cold weather arriving this morning, many of you may have had to clear frost and ice from your vehicle before setting off.

Please remember not to leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running on your drive or in the street while it defrosts. Opportunist thieves can take advantage of this, and vehicles can be stolen in a matter of seconds.

Instead:

✅ Allow extra time to clear frost and ice before your journey
✅ Stay with your vehicle while the engine is running
✅ Ensure all windows are fully cleared before driving
✅ Keep your vehicle locked whenever it is unattended

A few extra minutes on a cold morning can help prevent the inconvenience and distress of vehicle theft. Stay safe and take care on the roads.
