Handy Top 10 Festive Checklist from St Ives & District NHW

CAT FLU  We'd really like to be kept in at night as its freezing outside....

With winter and the festive holiday season approaching here are some things you might like to think about:



1. Now that the grass cutting season is over make sure youR lawnmowers and all garden tools are safely locked away in your shed or garage.

2 When Jack Frost is about leaving your windscreens frosted each morning, do not leave your engine running, defrosting your car whilst you pop indoors for a moment, when you return your car may have disappeared.
3 When Christmas shopping be more aware of the dangers of pickpockets and possible theft of purses from your open shopping bags.

4 Make sure any items bought are put in the boot of your car, do not leave them for others to view and steal.

5 When you have wrapped all your presents, please make sure they are not in full view of your windows, there maybe someone who prefers your presents to buying their own.


6 If going away for the holiday, remember to cancel papers, but don’t shout it to the world! You just do not know WHO is listening.


7 When loading your vehicle, do so in the garage  or discreetly to avoid alerting everyone to your imminent departure.


8 Tell your NHW co-ordinator you are going away and ask them to keep an eye on your property using the PFNW HolidayWatch scheme


9 Fit an automatic light system, plug timers or ask a neighbour to draw curtains/ switch on house lights.


10. Remember your older and more vulnerable neighbours, please keep an eye on them as the weather gets colder.


This way may you have a happy, secure and crime free Festive Season with the best wishes of St Ives & District NHW  !!
