Street Signs.
In various locations around the Island some of the signs are showing symptoms of weather wear and tear. Fading of some of the signage is making the displays look care worn and require replacement. We have replacement Plastic Overlays that will do this job.
If one of these signs is noticed, please take note of its position and send the details to John Pullen Sec. 01983 281250
WATCHING AND CARING
This is what Neighbourhood Watch is all about - looking out for each other. Neighbours uniting and acting together means that dozens of eyes and ears are ready to pick up on anything happening in the neighbourhood that could cause worry and concern. Its about being a good neighbour and caring about your community.
Neighbourhood Watches are an important means of communication between local residents and the local Police in the fight against crime.
A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE
There's more to Neighbourhood Watch than protecting homes and property against burglary. By working together, neighbours can help reduce all sorts of local crimes. They can also take action to improve the environment by getting something done about things like vandalism, graffiti, poor lighting and lack of local amenities.
As well as making the neighbourhood a better place to live and work in, tackling local problems and concerns will help people to feel less nervous about crime - especially those who are elderly or vulnerable for other reasons.
You Wouldn't Believe It ?
It's one of those stories that appear
regulary in the media...
When a council resident put Neighbourhood Watch stickers on his door, they kept being ripped off. Thinking local youths were to blame, he contacted the council. What he was told was that officials were taking them down because they were a fire risk!
Yes the thin polythene stickers were seen as a risk??
Unbelievable...What planet do some of these officials live on?
Any similarity to a story in a national newspaper is purely co-incidental.
Times are hard, money is tight, so take care of valuable items at all times. Out of sight, and Locked up.
Burglars do not take holidays. Please do not make life easy for them. Protect your Valuables!
NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH IS FOR EVERYONE
Neighbourhood Watch is also about bringing people closer together and involving them in local life. A stronger community spirit grows as people get to know each other and look out for one another. Anyone can join a Neighbourhood Watch team and everyone can play a part in its achievements. Any community or neighbourhood - however large or small - can set up a scheme.
