Neighbourhood watch

There has been some recent interest in setting up a Neighbourhood Watch scheme (NW) in Waverley. A Neighbourhood Watch scheme is one way that a community can pull together to address local crime, anti-social behaviour and other community problems. These schemes are usually run by residents and there lots of information on how to set on up can be found online - www.ourwatch.org.uk

As some of you may be aware this idea started back in the days of the original Residents Association and good progress was made to try and start a scheme.

Some ground work was already completed by a resident, who has now moved off the estate. There is already a whatsapp group called (Waverley Emergencies https://chat.whatsapp.com/AgEXisnSrIW76ziBT6ZhAy) and a Facebook group (Waverley Watch Community Group)

In order to run a Waverley NW scheme it's needs a few residents to act as coordinators and run the scheme. If you want to take the initiative and move this forward, please contact Cllr Paul Norton by email cllr.norton@waverley-cc.gov.uk before 31 May who will host a virtual meeting for those interested to kick things off.
