Brassington & Longcliffe Neighbourhood Watch

A meeting was held on 8th August at the Village Hall to discuss the launch of a Neighbourhood Watch scheme.

Pat Horrocks has very kindly offered to be the area co-ordinator.

If anyone is interested in joining the scheme they should email Pat at thehorrocks@googlemail.com

The Neighbourhood Watch scheme provides a valuable link with the police who give advice on crime and anti-social behaviour reduction.

The Neighbourhood Watch scheme also allows residents to take part in a community messaging service by email/fax/telephone/mobile of any incidents or suspicious behaviour happening in and around the Brassington neighbourhood.

The following goods can be purchased through the Neighbourhood Watch at a discount.
