Neighbourhood Watch is a community-run initiative using Partner Agencies such as the Police and Council to help prevent crime and anti-social behaviour in your area.

How can Neighbourhood Watch help me:

  • Provide reassurance to local residents, especially the elderly, to reduce the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour,
  • Encourage neighbourliness and closer communities,
  • Cut crime and the opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour,
  • Improve the quality of life for local residents and tenants,
  • Work together with the police, local authorities and other agencies to reduce crime and disorder by sharing information,
  • Identify issues of local concern, involve the community in deciding what problems to target and what actions to take,
  • Provide feedback to residents in return for intelligence and incidents reported to the police.

What can I do to help Neighbourhood Watch:

Keep an eye out for trouble and report any suspicious activity to the Police or NHW Co-Ordinator. Reporting can be anonymous.
