The Ravensbury SNT in partnership with the Ravensbury Ward Panel has agreed on the following ward priorities. • Anti Social behaviour in general • Anti Social behaviour by motorist’s • School Truancy Crime prevention advice regarding burglaries Lighting - Exterior A useful addition to security can be exterior lighting, either switched manually or automatically operated. But lighting does have its limitations and should be seen as an aid and not solely relied upon. The most common form of lighting is passive infra-red which is activated when someone comes into its field of vision. Always be aware to place the lighting system out of reach of potential intruders therefore preventing any possible damaging being caused to the system. Lights can be useful on the approach to a front or rear door or garage, not only lighting up if someone approaches your house, but also when you approach, so that you can see if anyone is in the shadows. It must be remembered though that lights can be activated by certain animals. Also, you do not want the light to be activated every time your neighbour goes into their garden or when someone walks past the front of your property. However, the field of activation can be adjusted. An alternative is to fit low pressure sodium lights which are operated by a photo-electric cell. This turns the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. It is a much less obtrusive light and, although it is on all night, it can be cheaper to run than spotlights. Register your property.
