A hospital worker who was left anxious for years after an attempted break-in at her Nottingham home now finally feels safe again. Louise Elvin, 58, was at her home in Top Valley, Nottingham watching TV with her husband when a suspicious man walked down their garden path and tried their door handle.
Fortunately her husband saw what was happening and chased the man off before he could get into the property but the incident, which happened around two years ago, left Louise nervous that it could happen again. “I have anxiety so I started to get nervous about it. I didn’t feel safe, especially when we are out of the house,” said Louise, a theatre support worker at the City Hospital.
“We work long hours. I work 12 hours a day at the hospital and you just want to feel your home is protected.” Louise has now said she finally feels safe in her home again after receiving free Safer Streets security upgrades to protect her house.
