Residents in Pilgrim Place have recently set up a Neighbourhood Watch. They are using the Mansbridge Community Room for the meetings and have the support of the majority of the street. The group held their first meeting on Thursday 21st July.
Neighbourhood Watch is designed to target local crime problems and take action in partnership with the police and local authority to prevent them. Neighbourhood Watch started in the UK in 1982 and there are now 150,000 schemes running throughout the country.
If you would be interested in starting a Neighbourhood Watch in your street call 011 6271 0052 or visit www.neighbourhoodwatch.net.
