Planting rose bushes in the flower beds at the front of Gold Park, High Street, Mundesley, with the help of a few 'little friends'.   

Advice from Norfolk Police: 

The garden shed has increasingly become a target for thieves. The shed, garage or out building tucked well away from the house is often far easier to break into and less likely to be alarmed. In most cases it houses costly DIY, garden tools and equipment, most are small, lightweight and easy to steal and sell on.

  Fit good quality hasps on the cross members of the door top and bottom using coach bolts and washers to prevent them being forced, or fit lockable slide bolts again with coach bolts rather than screws. Windows are even less secure whilst some thieves have been known to jemmy off a whole shed panel or roof to get inside, or even lifted in off the ground. Fit ring bolts on 2 corner posts and run a chain through all the garden tools where possible and secure them with a padlock. The same thing can be done with bikes, mowers and other large valuables. A good idea is to fit a wire cage inside your shed where more expensive items can be stowed and locked away. Consider having PIR floodlighting illuminating that part of the garden fitting mains or battery powered alarms.

If you have just moved to Mundesley (or even if you have lived here for some time) and would like a fun way to learn about the available activities or make new friends, why not join the Volunteers at Mundesley Visitor and Advice Centre.

We are a very happy and friendly group who are keen to learn all about the area and share our knowledge with the visitors. We work a 3 hour shift once a week (am or pm) and will always welcome more volunteers. For more details please ring Pat Jennings  01263 722661.
