Dear Editor

The Community Safety Panel has received significant information on the levels of burglaries in the wards of Anfield, Yew Tree , Tuebrook and Stoneycroft and Kensington/Fairfield

In a research study by University of Huddersfield Applied Criminology Department,( Prof Ale Hirschfield, Dr Andrew Newton and Michelle Rogerson) has looked at the Impact of Target Hardening in Liverpool.

One of their conclusions states " there is some evidence to suggest that the installation of PIR lighting reduced the risk of future burglary"

With that in mind we have arranged a substantial provision of solar PIR lights for residents in the Tuebrook and Stoneycroft Ward.

Any householder in our ward who as not collected their solar lights can call to our Tuesday Evening Advise Centres , United Reformed Church Lister Drive 6 to 6.30 or Christ Church Buckingham Road 7 to 7.30
or on Friday mornings to the Tuebrook Hope Centre, 1b Snaefell Avenue between 10 and 12.

Residents will need to bring some evidence of their name and address like a utility bill

Whilst there has been some recent reduction in the number of burglaries across these four wards however we should not be complacent with the onset of Christmas often sees a rise in house break-ins

Neighbours can take simple steps to reduce vulnerability like ensuring keys are not left in the lobby of their homes, Double lock UPC doors, challenge callers to show identity, ensure alley gates are closed
