NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH is FREE

It encourages caring communities where neighbours work together and look out for each other, working in partnership with the police to guard against crime, vandalism and many other problems.

A number of insurance companies will also give a discount to members of a Neighbourhood Watch scheme.

If you would like to start a Neighbourhood Watch scheme in your area, or if you would like more information, please contact

In Penkridge at the moment (5 April 2005) we have schemes set up covering parts of most of the housing estates in the community.  However, there are gaps and we have two estates where there are no schemes and these need to be addressed.   To that end I (the Webmaster) am approaching one or two people in those areas suggesting that they might like to be involved in setting up a scheme in their neighbourhood.   It can be a whole road, or part of a road, a cul-de-sac, or just a group of 6 properties facing each other, etc. 

If you are interested in becoming involved and would like more information and would like to register your interest, then either contact Vicki at the number above or Paul Geoghegan, your Local Action Group Chairman on 713419 or email Paul
