Keep Safe This Winter

As darker nights draw in, you can reduce the risk of being a victim of burglary by following these simple tips:

•     leave a light on if you are going to be out

a well used room rather than a hall 
vary the rooms to avoid predictability

•     use a timerswitch (available to buy from your local supermarket)

vary the time as the days get shorter

•     Use outdoor lighting if you have it

dusk til dawn lighting is very effective - but please be mindful of neighbours and any nuisance which can be caused by outside lighting, always point the lighting down towards your property

Using lighting in this way will help to deter burglars.
