Dear Neghbours and Friends
 
Last year across the Tuebrook and Stoneyecroft Ward we were delighted to report a significant 21 % reduction in household break-ins. With the exception of Anfield many other local wards saw improvements.
 
However residents should not be complacent.
 
There are several simple steps we in the terraced communities of Liverpool can take to make the burglar's job harder.
 
After the bin collection team has been bring back into the house wheelie bins.
These are not only an obstacle to people cleaning the entry but even worse can be used to mount the alleygates or rear walls of homes
 
If the alleygate has been left open after collection , please pull it to.
Leaving alleygates open inappropriately destroys the benefit of having them.
 
As a councillor who almost daily walks the patch , I am always horrified at the number of households who leave their front door keys in the door or by the doorway. This is an invitation for trouble
 
Lastly I was horrified to hear of several robberies of homes taking place just prior to Christmas that took place in broad daylight. I would urge everyone to phone the police if they see anything suspicious. Remember it could be your house next they try to rob, don't turn a blind eye pick up the phone.
 
Good neighbourhoods are made of ordinary people acting as good neighbours
 
May take this opportunity to wish all of you a Happy New Year
