At last week’s Parish Council meeting the recent break ins and thefts were discussed. The council are making contact with the police to request a visit from the crime prevention officer to advise us on what steps we can take to help protect ourselves.

We have also done some research into alarm systems that maybe suitable for sheds and outbuildings. Most alarms require a subscription but guardfather.co.uk produce an alarm that requires no subscription but has features such as mobile phone notification and sirens. The alarm base station does require power but can be sited in the house subject to the distance to the shed. Whilst the Parish Council are not necessarily recommending this company we feel it may be of interest.

When we have a date for the crime prevention officer’s visit, a notification will be put on Horley Views.
