SWINDON: Window restrictors, to make high and medium-rise blocks of flats safer for children and the elderly people could soon be fitted at selected council properties in the town.
Catches will restrict the distance a window can be opened to 100mm and should be fitted to windows above ground floor level to reduce the possibility of an accident.
