Reminder: Clocks go back one hour on Sunday, 25 October 2026

Dear Residents and Businesses,

Just a friendly reminder that the clocks will go back by one hour on Sunday, 25 October 2026. Please ensure that any clocks and electronic devices in your home or business are adjusted accordingly.

With daylight hours becoming shorter and the evenings getting darker sooner, we would encourage you to activate any timer switches for lights to come on at dusk. This can help make your property appear occupied and may assist in deterring opportunistic crime.

Please also take a few moments to review your property security:

Ensure all vehicles are locked, secure, and any alarm systems are activated.

Remove valuables from vehicles or keep them out of sight.

Ensure sheds, garages, and outbuildings are locked and secure.

Check that doors, windows, and gates are properly secured before leaving your property or retiring for the evening.

Thank you for your continued support and vigilance.
