Key-holders for private properties with alarm systems form

The Council collecting details of key-holders for alarm systems for properties in the borough.

The purpose of this is to allow us to contact key-holders if your alarm goes off when you are not there. We should, therefore, be able to ensure that the alarm is turned off quickly and with little fuss.

If we do not know the key-holder or are unable to contact a key-holder we may have to use our powers to enter premises and disable alarms. This will result in a charge being made to the owners of around £500 for our time and the costs of calling out an emergency service.

To prevent these high costs, we urge property owners to contact us to give us their key holder details so we can contact them directly in case their alarm has a fault.

You can download a form below to send us details of key-holders for your property. Please print out enough forms for each key-holder and return it to us.
