KBM in domestic violence programme
Kier Building Maintenance (KBM), based in Boston, has begun installing new safeguards in the houses of victims of domestic violence in Lincolnshire. Under the "Sanctuary Scheme", the building maintenance organisation will install measures such as video cameras which detect movement inside or outside a property.
KMB has teamed up with Boston Borough Council, Lincolnshire Police and the Boston Mayflower housing association for the "Vulnerable Works Programme". The organisations will fit a host of safeguards including spy holes, safety chains, intercom systems, fire alarms and extinguishers, light timers, safety alarms and super efficient video cameras.
All items installed are loaned by Boston Borough Council.
KBM Boston contracts manager, Bob McMath, said: “We are delighted to support a targeted community service that so effectively helps women and children whose lives have been blighted by domestic violence.
“Everyone has the right to live free from fear and harm and we are determined to protect individuals and families in Boston from the damage that such abuse brings, while the peace of mind that these efforts bring should not be underestimated.”
