Neighbourhood Watch
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 scheme.

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'

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.
