Enjoy your balcony safely

Balconies can be a great place to spend time and get some fresh air – especially as most of us are spending more time at home due to COVID-19. Make sure you enjoy your balcony safely this Christmas and New Year:

• Reduce clutter and try and keep items on the balcony to a minimum – this includes Christmas trees, decorations and presents. Keep them inside.

• Do not use chimineas, BBQs, fire pits or any other form of open fire under any circumstances.

• Never store or set off fireworks on your balcony.

• Never store flammable materials like gas on your balcony.

• If you smoke, make sure you stub cigarettes out and never flick them off your balcony.
