Neighbourhood Watch is about local people working together to create safe, attractive and friendly places in which to live. Places where crime is less likely to happen and people are less likely to turn to anti-social behaviour.
It’s about looking out for your neighbours and for them to look out for you. There are no barriers regarding age, race, class and religion – it’s about making sure that no one feels alone, frightened or vulnerable in our community.
