Quote   Neighbourhood Watch is about local people working together to create safe, attractive, friendly places to live, places where crime is less likely to happen and people are less likely to turn to antisocial behaviour. It is about you looking out for your neighbours and them looking out for you, crossing barriers of age, race and class for everyone’s good. It is about making sure that no one need feel alone, scared or vulnerable in the place where they live.   Unquote

From: ‘What kind of neighbourhood do you want to live in?’ Neighbourhood Watch leaflet

The neighbour who has told you about the scheme and has given you this sheet of paper is one of a number of Contact People, each responsible for about ten houses, who assist the Coordinator for Golden Ridge Neighbourhood Watch, Andy Wilson, who lives at 14 Sates Way.

If you become a member, your contact details will be put on a secure database maintained by John Cass at 11 Ridgehill. Your data can only be accessed by Andy, John and your named Contact Person and will not be given to anyone else except in an emergency if you cannot be contacted.

From time to time you will be sent emails by the Coordinator, usually originating from the local police with security advice, information about increased risks such as bikes being stolen from sheds or cars being broken into in our area. Warnings about attempts at fraud are also circulated, usually telephone or internet scams.

Social events such as street parties or picnics are organised from time to time for all in the GRNW area.

It costs just £2 for a household to join the scheme, renewable every two years
