A teenager appealed to her local Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator for help in getting information to complete a school project about local crime and a survey on how the Police deal with it. She and her father went to the Co-ordinator’s home, and left with various leaflets and booklets to help to research the subject.
A Ward Co-ordinator was asked to help deal with overgrown vegetation, litter and bad lighting along an enclosed footpath used by families with children: the elderly were frightened to use it! Overgrowth was soon cut back by the Council. A site visit by a Highways lighting officer, and the Co-ordinator identified the need to improve the lighting. Funds were successfully secured from the Crime Reduction Partnership and the Devolved Ward Budget enabling the work to proceed. Litter bins are to be installed and notices warning that enforcement patrols will be in the area.
A block of sheltered housing flats were plagued by youngsters climbing through their broken perimeter fence and causing havoc within the grounds. Thanks to the combined efforts of local Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators and their local PCSO, the Housing Association was alerted and the fence repaired within a couple of days.
A Co-ordinator, already suspicious about a parked car in his close, was outside his property when a 4 x 4 vehicle approached and stopped nearby. A male jumped out and ran towards the parked car, started it and raced away following the 4 x 4. Memorising the registration numbers and appearances of the males, 999 was called. The police response was very fast and the males apprehended. The car had been stolen, drugs were found and items suggesting that other crimes were intended. The Co-ordinator has received a letter of commendation from Commander Jayne Dando.
