Do you have a Burglar Alarm?

• The Council gets hundreds of complaints every year about intruder alarms sounding.
  
  
• The vast majority are sounding falsely and Environmental Health Officers have to get these turned off, sometimes by force.
  
  
• The cost of this is passed on to the owner or occupier of the house and the bill can turn into hundreds of pounds.
  
  
• Your alarm should have a 20 minute cut out to stop it from ringing for long periods. Even if it does have a cut out it may be triggered over and over again by a fault or even by a pet.
  
  
• Even the best maintained alarm systems can develop faults so you can help us, and perhaps save yourself a considerable sum of money, by having someone else hold a key for you.
  
  
• If you let us know who your keyholders are, we can contact them for you and get your alarm turned off without trauma.
  
  
• Please fill in the Keyholder form to register your burglar alarm and email back to us.
  
  
• If you haven't got an alarm, please pass on this information to a friend or relative who does have one.
