Join up with your local NHW - It does stop Crime!

Burglary is on the increase and to better improve local police intelligence and community engagement I have been helping to initiate a number of Local Neighbourhood Watches. The police are no longer promoting single road Watches and are targeting hot spot areas. To work easier and include all residents in the process I have been helping to establish Super NHW's with larger catchment areas.

One in particular is the South Chadwell Neighbourhood Watch which is located at

Oasis Church
1 Essex Road (off High Road)
Next Meeting Date 28th April at 19:00 - Police will be in attendance!

This group is led by James Peters and the membership is growing regularly

Issues resolved thus far include:

• Obtaining refunds from Barking and Dagenham Council who illegally charged Redbridge residents
• Repairs to a footpath and cutting back vegetation to make their area more salubrious
• obtaining a Disabled Bay to fore of Church
• Reduction on crimes of graffiti (and removal), drug dealing and antisocial behaviour
• Overall crime reduction and increased community confidence.

They would like to increase local participation of the group and encourage visitors from:

• High Road (in part)
• Burns Avenue
• Essex Road
• Railway Street
• Cross Road
• Avenue Road

Let me know if you would like any more details
