Keep your Home and
Yourself safe in the
Summer Months
It’s summertime, and with longer light days, we spend more time outdoors
in the garden, or out and about visiting places.
We’d like to remind residents to be extra vigilant and ensure the security of their
home and items.
• Shut and lock doors and windows when you’re upstairs, in the garden or just
popped next door. Don’t leave the key in the front & back doors.
• Keep your car and house keys away from windows and doors, in a secure place.
• Shut and lock gates into your back garden, and secure sheds & garages.
• Put away any items into your house, shed or garage.
• Keep your vehicle locked, and lock any valuables in the boot.
• If you have a key-less or proximity entry system, ensure that you store the keys
out-of-range within your house.
• Don’t share your location and holidays on social media; upload your posts and
photos after the event.
• Use time switches on lamps, downstairs
and upstairs, at the front and back
of the house.
Going away over the
Summer Leave Period
If you are going away over the
summer leave period, remember to:
• Cancel milk, papers, and other regular
deliveries.
• Ensure sheds, garages, back/garden
gates, windows and doors are
securely locked.
• Use timer switches, upstairs and
downstairs.
• Tell your neighbours that you will be
away, and give them your contact
number.
