Property Security

Home and garden security – You may have recently seen on local social media pages that there has recently been an increase in non-dwelling burglaries or shed breaks around the Blagdon Hill, Pitminster and Stoke St Mary areas. Please ensure sheds are locked tools and equipment is secure, chained down if possible and security lighting is working.

Fuel theft is also on the increase due to the winter months and the cost of fuel. Please consider a good alarm system and lighting where possible.
