Maldon District Neighbourhood Watch Needs You!
If you think Neighbourhood Watch is just about being a nosey neighbour and twitching curtains then you are wrong.
It is one of the biggest and most successful crime prevention initiatives in the country, but common misconceptions about the scheme can detract from the valuable work done by its members.
In fact, Neighbourhood Watch is about working in partnership with the police in order to prevent crime and creating a safer place to live, work and play. Neighbourhood Watch can also help to reduce crime, provide reassurance to residents in your area and encourage a sense of community where you live.
Neighbourhood Watch is already up and running in the Maldon District, with more than 25 street coordinators working hard to raise awareness and cut crime. But extra volunteers are needed to cover more areas throughout the district to make it an even safer place to live.
Taking action, together with your neighbours, can reduce local crime so if you would like to make a difference to your community then Neighbourhood Watch needs you!
If you are interested in becoming a street coordinator or would like more information about how the scheme works, contact Lauren Hockney, community safety development officer, on 01621 875794 or e-mail lauren.hockney@maldon.gov.uk
