'Make house alarm holiday arrangements' homeowners urged

Residents of Castlemartin Lodge estates have appealed for homeowners to make provision for dealing with house alarms while on holiday, writes Brian Byrne.

On the Facebook page of the area, the residents note that it's the middle of the holiday season and alarms are on in order to protect properties while owners are away.

Owners are asked to leave a key with a neighbour, or a phone number of someone who has a key, in the event of an alarm going off while they are away.

Obviously, this is good advice for homeowners right across the community.
