neighbourhood watch

The Neighbourhood Watch Scheme reduces local opportunities for crime and thereby deters would-be thieves and vandals. It establishes a community spirit so that everyone can contribute towards the protection of their property by mutual co-operation and communication.

Normally, each road will have a local co-ordinator whose job it is to ensure that the other residents are made aware of any suspicious activity in the area. Several roads in Fairford Leys have already started a Neighbourhood Watch scheme and others are in the process of setting one up.

There are many ways in which you can help - for example by keeping an eye on a neighbour's home when it is unoccupied, has a senior citizen or is considered to be at risk. Check for mail, parcels and milk on the doorstep, maybe cut their grass while they're away and report anything suspicious to the police immediately.

The Fairford Leys website is giving its full backing to promote the scheme and will be publishing any crime reports we are sent by Aylesbury Police.

The Neighbourhood Watch Administrators at Aylesbury Police Station are Helen Thomas and Diane Brown.
