Now that the clocks have gone back and it is darker earlier in the evening it is important to check that your home and possessions are as secure as possible, particularly if you are away from home in the evening. 1. Please ensure that a light is timed to come on at dusk, this is particularly useful if it is in a hallway or somewhere central in the house. A radio also on a timer is a good idea to make people think there is someone at home. 2. Ensure that garages, sheds and other outbuildings are secure and that your security lighting is working. 3. Make sure that your vehicle is left secure at all times and close gates if you are in or out. 4. When parking your car away from home, chose a well lit location overlooked by houses, on a street where people are passing on foot or in a vehicle. 5. Make sure your car is ready for winter, fluids topped up, tyres inflated and with good tread, wipers and lights working and remember “wipers on, Headlights on”
