18.01.2022 Good Neighbourhood ABC's - D is for Door Your front door says a lot about your home, especially to criminals. Make sure you're sending the right message with th...e following tips: Upgrade your front door lock hardware to include a longer, heavy-duty strike plate and install using long screws, through the door frame and into the wall studs for extra strength. If the front door's looking a little shabby, freshen it up with a coat of paint to make your place look well cared for. If your front door includes glass panels, reduce the risk of a break-in with security film installed on the panels. The film holds the glass together even if it's broken, making forced entry more difficult. Always keep the door locked, even when you're home. Let's close the door on crime.

17.01.2022 Good Neighbourhood ABC's - M is for Maintenance Criminals like an easy target, plain and simple. Make your home less attractive to the bad guys with these maint...enance tips: Keep trees and shrubs around your home well-trimmed so they don't provide any easy hiding places. Install sturdy deadbolt locks to all external doors and make sure you use a brand with durable deadbolt strike plate and long anchor screws. Install motion-sensor lights around your home to light up any dark spots that may provide a good hiding place. If you want to really scare thieves away before they get into your home, install a video doorbell with two-way voice capabilities + notifications whenever anyone is near the front door. You can see who's at the door and tell them to go away without even being at home. Install key locks on the windows or at the very least, cut dowel rods to fit each window so they don't provide easy entry. A little preventative maintenance can increase your home security and stop your home becoming a target for thieves.

16.01.2022 Good Neighbourhood ABC's - O is for Others Are you the kind of neighbour you would want? . Many of us were taught as children to treat others as we would like t...o be treated and nowhere is this truer than in the complex relationships one finds within a neighbourhood. It all starts with us: Keep loud music, power tools and barking dogs to a minimum. Keep clear of the neighbour's driveway when parking on the street. Get rid of rubbish from around your yard and house. Take out the bins or bring them back in for the neighbours once in a while. Wave and say hello when you see each other outside. The neighbourhood you want starts at YOUR front door. Scott Webb via Unsplash

15.01.2022 More choice, no lines and delivery right to the front door - it's no wonder so many of us are heading online to tick 'Christmas shopping' off the list this year.... Here are a few tips to keep your financial & personal information safe and secure while you shop: Shop with names you know and trust. Most brick & mortar retailers have an online presence and sites like Amazon stock just about everything so. there's plenty of choices. If you're receiving emails about online sales, check the web address of the site you're being sent to. It could look like a brand you know but if it ends with anything other than a .com or .com.au you could be shopping from a scam website. Look out for misspellings of trusted brand name websites for the same reason. Sales on these sites look legitimate but you could be unwittingly giving our your personal and financial details. Always shop only with sites that begin with HTTPS, as opposed to HTTP. The 'S' means the site has encryption installed and will protect your credit card and other information. Shopping online is safe and easy as long as you know what to look for

13.01.2022 Good Neighbourhood ABC's - L is for Loneliness If the last few months have taught us anything it's the power of human connection. With many state borders still ...closed, there are lots of people cut off from family and loved ones and experiencing loneliness as a result. Help a lonely neighbour by: Leaving a lovely note in their letterbox. Just knowing there's a friendly face close by can really help. Ask for their advice. Everyone likes to feel needed but many people won't admit they're lonely or ask for help. Let them know when virtual community events or activities are happening and offer to help with setting up their phone or computer so they can participate. Start an old-fashioned letter writing trend in your neighbourhood. Ask about their life and interests: get to know each other. There's nothing better than receiving 'happy mail' in your letterbox to brighten your day! Invite them to join your Neighbourhood Watch group and make new friends. A smile and a chat, whether in-person over the fence or via handwritten notes, goes a long way to easing loneliness.

01.01.2022 Good Neighbourhood ABC's - P is for Pedestrian Keeping the roads in our neighbourhood safe is everyone's responsibility. Whether you're a pedestrian or a driver..., what you do when you're on the road matters. Tips for pedestrians: Stay off your phone and look around you when you're crossing the street. Use the zebra crossing or cross at the lights where possible. If none of those is available, at least find a place to cross that doesn't require you to step out from behind a parked vehicle. When walking along the road, make sure you're on the right-hand side of the street so you can see oncoming traffic. Tips for drivers: Slow down around schools, crossings and any areas where you expect pedestrians. Drive extra carefully at dusk, after dark or during bad weather, when pedestrians will be more difficult to see. Always give way to pedestrians, no matter if they're on a crossing or not. The neighbourhood you want starts at YOUR front door. @davegoudreau via Unsplash
