Please remain vigilant and alert at all times and continue to employ common sense Home Security measures by locking all doors and windows and not leaving items of value in clear view of would be thieves, keep House Keys and Vehicle Keys out of sight and out of easy reach at all times. Please remember when leaving your home to ensure all windows and doors are locked. Use bicycle locks to secure items to something secure in your sheds or garages e.g. the ladders or workbench.

Resolving Neighbour Disputes

If you are having problems with your neighbours, please follow this advice…

1.Talk to your neighbour about it. Often the most effective way to deal with neighbour disputes is to speak to them about it yourself. The people causing you nuisance may not be aware of how it is affecting you.

Here are some tips:

-Try and stay calm and friendly.

-Explain what the problem is and how it affects you and makes you feel.

-Suggest a compromise.

-Try to listen to the other person and don’t interrupt when they are talking.

-Try not to shout even if the other person does.

-If the person is being unreasonable then walk away.

You should not approach the person if you feel frightened or intimidated by them.

2.If your neighbour is a tenant you can contact their landlord.

3.You could use mediation services if raising the issue informally doesn’t work. (These differ depending on where you live- Your council or housing provider may offer these services)

PC Lowe will be attending Early Help & Schools event at Truffet Park on Bowness Rd Middleton between 10-1 pm.
