The Police have advised us of a significant increase in burglaries and attempted break-ins in this area. It is essential that street doors are kept shut, that unknown callers are not admitted to buildings without verification, and that flats on the ground and basement levels do not leave windows open. There is also an increased risk where scaffolding is in place, which gives an access route to adjoining first floor balconies. All residents are asked to take careful note of this.
