The Southwark Safer Homes scheme is open to homeowners and private tenants who are over 60 or disabled. It offers residents the chance to make their homes safer by installing window locks, repairing vulnerable windows, installing security lighting, improving front door security and repairing vulnerable fences or boundary walls. Also available is the installation of memo minder infrared device, which acts as a reminder to residents to keep the chain on the door before answering or to ask for identity cards.

Councillor Paul Noblet said: "This is an excellent scheme that will improve security for some of our most vulnerable residents in East Dulwich. I'd encourage people who qualify under this scheme and their families to get in contact with us soon, so we can start fitting the measures in their homes."
