What are the benefits of a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme?
Neighbourhood Watch is not just about reducing burglary figures. It is about creating communities who care and creating a better place to live, work and play.
Neighbourhood Watch schemes help bring local people together by fostering a new community spirit and a belief in the community’s ability to tackle problems by working together. At the same time, people feel secure, knowing their neighbours are keeping an eye on their property.
By taking part in a Neighbourhood Watch schemes people become familiar with crime prevention ideas which will help keep their home and belongings safe. It might even mean that you can get a premium discount from your insurance company.
