Shed Security
We have been advised that there has been a recent increase in the number of sheds being broken-into in the Bridgwater area. We have alerted you previously to the need to make sure your sheds/outbuildings are secure so please take heed. It’s advisable to secure any valuable items to the wall or floor.
