NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH – UPDATE AUTUMN 2008
Ashbourne Road, Beaufort Road, Audley Road, Corringway, The Ridings, Beaufort Close, Ashbourne Close, East Close, Rotherwick Hill and part of Heathcroft area
Crime statistics are down this summer (2 burglaries, 1 incident of criminal damage, 1 robbery from a vehicle, 1 motor vehicle offence and 1 domestic violence offence).
With this in mind, a neighbourly walking scheme was suggested. Under these schemes, neighbours agree to patrol areas regularly in pairs to increase vigilance. This helps to deter potential criminals operating in the area, and improve the perception of safety for everyone. So, if you regularly run/walk why not be our eyes and ears too? If you are interested in joining the scheme or participating in the patrol please contact the Hanger Hill Safer Neighbourhood Team (020 8721 2947) or Saz Vora (sazvora@hotmail.com Telephone 020 8998 4993) the local co-ordinator.
Please come to our next meeting on Wednesday 3rd December 2008 at 8.00 p.m., venue Side Chapel, Ascension Church, Beaufort Road. Meetings take place on the first Wednesday of each of the following months, December, March, June and September.
After all it is your Neighbourhood Watch!

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH – UPDATE SPRING 2008
The Police Safer Neighbourhood Team and the new Beaufort Neighbourhood Watch group of residents met again in March to assess progress following restarting the scheme at the end of last year. They heard about the crime statistics on the estate (4 burglaries, 1 incident of criminal damage, 1 motor vehicle offence and 1 violent offence) and discussed ways of trying to reduce the incidence of crime. One of the ideas considered was introducing a patrol scheme similar to those operating in the USA. Under these schemes, neighbours agree to patrol areas regularly in pairs to raise awareness of increased vigilance. This helps to deter potential criminals operating in the area and improve the perception of safety for everyone. If you are interested in joining the scheme or participating in the patrol please contact the Hanger Hill Safer Neighbourhood Team (020 8721 2947) or Saz Vora (sazvora@hotmail.com, tel 020 8998 4993) the local coordinator. All are welcome to attend the next Neighbourhood Watch meeting: Wednesday 4th June at 8pm, venue tba.
There are two other schemes in operation in the HHERA - Hanger Vale Neighbourhood Watch and Ashbourne Neighbourhood Watch. The former covers Boileau Road, run by PCSO 7276XB Turner; the latter covers Hanger Green and the houses and flats at the top of The Ridings and should be up and running soon.
