Episode Details

Summer vacation just got a legal twist: if your home alarm goes off while you’re away, you could face a £1,000 fine—and worse, council officers might break in to shut it down. Enacted under the 2005 Clean Neighbourhood and Environment Act, this law targets persistent alarm noise that annoys neighbors and wastes police time. If you live in an “alarm notification area,” you must register a nearby keyholder within 28 days of installing the alarm—or risk being billed for locksmith costs plus the hefty penalty. Don’t wait until you’re on holiday—check with your local council now to avoid a costly surprise when you return.
