In these ever changing times the need for increased security is at
the forefront of everyone's minds. Living in a community as we do, it
is essential that we all focus on what's needed to ensure that we live
as safely and securely as we can.

Security Suggestions
1. Get an alarm - ideally with central station monitoring.
Can be setup
so downstairs is protected at night while asleep.
2. Window locks - 2 on each opening window in bottom corners. Should
be
fitted to all ground floor windows and to easily accessible windows
on
upper floors.
3. Window opening restrictors - allow the window to be open slightly
but
not opened wide enough for someone to climb in.
4. Patio Door Locks - Additional for top and bottom of patio doors.
5. Kickstop London Bar - Metal bar screwed to frame which strengthens
it
to resist kicking and forced entry.
6. Hinge Bolts - To strengthen the hinge side of a door.
7. Spy hole or chain - so you can see who is outside before opening
door
8. Back garden security lights - Automatically light when anyone comes
near.
9. Trellis (flimsy) around top of fence - Recommended by Crime
Prevention Office as deterrent to intruders
10. Hasp Staple Lock and Padlock - Additional lock and security for
garden shed.
