So changes are planned. They replaced the fire-door on the north side of the building (seems to be similar to the last one), and have hired a company to patrol the building. This means that you might see a chap wearing a reflective jacket, carrying a large torch.
It might have been an idea for the property company to inform us of the name of the company, and their contact number. Whilst I doubt many residents will challenge someone wearing a reflective jacket and claiming to be a security guard... it would be smart for a thief to do just the same thing - and can then wonder around checking that doors are locked (or not), etc...
Note: the security guard does carry an ID badge, and this matches with the publicity boards now attached to the stairwell on floor 2.
Having met the security chap in the reception of the building, I head outside and spot curious behaviour in the dustbin area. When I notified the security chap he jumped back, then called for support. I left him to do his job. (Sorry, I have my own life to live - and don't get personally involved in evicting people from dustbin rooms)

In other news, we are likely to be issued with key-thobs to use to gain access to the building - and the front-door will be reinforced. The physical key-thobs will replace the current key-code system. Apparently the wrong people have been gaining access to the building...
Whilst in principal this is a good idea - in that only those with the "keys" can get in... What will happen when the power goes out? (the current system will leave the doors open, guess it will be the same under the new system); what about when you have friends visiting - and need more key-thobs?
...and it still does not preclude "tailgaters" = those who follow people into the building whilst the door is open....
