The
Neighbourhood Watch scheme is alive and well and can still
continue to help every resident of Felmersham and Radwell. It was known
as Homewatch but is now known as Neighbourhood Watch in line
with national practice. The funding has now changed so the
amount of leaflets and flyers are less but its purpose and
practice is still the same. Link to
Neighbourhood Watch

How can Neighbourhood Watch help you?
ö Cheaper House insurance. A Neighbourhood Watch scheme
entitles all householders to a discount on house policies.
If your company does not offer one consider changing to one
which does.
ö Community Cooperation. A Neighbourhood Watch scheme
encourages people to look out for each other. It is not a snooper’s charter but a friendly eye on an empty house or
the report of a suspicious vehicle which can prevent
break-ins.
ö
By being a good neighbour and keeping an eye out for
anything suspicious, you and help make your community safer
and feel more secure.
ö
By joining Neighbourhood Watch, you will become part of one
of the most successful and long-standing schemes in the
whole country'

How Neighbourhood Watch Works
Both villages are divided among a group of volunteer
coordinators. They distribute the annual newsletter and keep
information packs which give details of support material
such as Home Security Health Checks which householders can
carry out themselves.

It is an interesting and worthwhile way to help the community. The
coordinator role is not exacting and it is a good way to get
to know fellow villagers and to keep in touch with village
life. The main activities are maintaining a first point of
contact with the police and attending the occasional
meeting.
