Eastbourne Neighbourhood watch is a community organisation not only in Eastbourne but nation wide. NHW offer great connectivity and aid in getting things done on a local level. It also allows the general public the chance to interact with local law enforcement officials.
Eastbourne Neighbourhood Watch currently has 335 schemes across Eastbourne and covers in excess of 10,500 homes.
We are always looking to increase our numbers as there are over 47,000 homes in Eastbourne in all and, in an ideal world, they would all be members of a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme.
Bob Gough, of the Eastbourne Crime Reduction Partnership, would like us to increase our numbers by 50% in the next two years, specifically in Devonshire Ward where, although there are the most people, we have the least amount of schemes.
There is more to Neighbourhood Watch than just helping in the fight against crime:-
We are helping to bring back “community spirit” which has been sorely missing during recent yearsHelp to reduce the “fear of crime” – most people perceive crime in Eastbourne to be much worse that it actually is.
We look out for each other and especially the vulnerable folk in our communities.
If you are a member of a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme, you could get a 10% reductionin your home insurance.
Being a Neighbourhood Watch member gives you an open doorway to Eastbourne Police who are very keen to work with us.
