Residents at a town centre block of private residential flats have been warned to keep all entrance doors locked after a 'frightening' incident last month.
It's emerged that two 'vagrants' were seen eating and drinking on the stairs of Beaconsfield Court on St Helen's Road, frightening one young resident; it's believed a careless tenant had left the door ajar or on the latch during the hot weather.
Landlords Anthony James of Southport have posted a suitable warning note to residents.
