“Now that we are easing out of our lockdown, many residents are becoming more trusting, leaving doors propped open or unlocked for family to come and go. This is fine if the door is in view, but please be mindful of doing this when the access cannot be seen.”
To report any concerns, please always call 101 or 999 in an emergency.
