PENSFORD NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

A new Neighbourhood Watch Scheme has been set up covering the High St and Old Road area. This is addition to the existing scheme on Station Approach.

Many householders have already joined the scheme which is simple to join. Membership is free and you do not need to attend meetings – or do anything except be a good neighbour.

The main benefits of membership are :

If you wish to join the scheme please contact the Coordinator, Chris James, by email chrisjbjames@aol.com or phone 490392. Please provide an email address if possible so that we can quickly and easily pass information to you. If you do not have email, please provide a phone number.

Signs will shortly be put up to indicate to everyone that the area is part of a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme. The Police tell us that statistically an active Scheme can result in a reduction in crime in the area of 30%.

The Scheme can be extended to other areas of Pensford. Please contact Chris James for further information.

We hope you will join. The more members we have, the more likely we are to deter crime in our area.
