ALL MEETINGS HELD IN THE CHURCH HALL For more information contact Liz, the Branch Leader, on 01909 515245 Todwick Neighbourhood WatchThe Todwick Neighbourhood Watch Scheme began in July 2006 and now has over 200 of the 800 Todwick households signed into the scheme. A clear signal that for our village, law and order is an issue we care about. Our scheme is part of the South Yorkshire Neighbourhood Watch Association and South Yorkshire Police - we have strong allies within our organisation. What does the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme mean? It is to be aware of what is happening around you. To support and improve the quality of life within the village, actively reducing crime and the fear of crime by working together. Neighbourhood Watch is not a vigilante group! This is community organisation where we all pull the same way. Why should the behaviour of a few spoil it for the majority? Each household signing up for the scheme, increases the impact on unlawful behaviours. If you are not yet signed up to the scheme, this means that your street or avenue has not got a co-ordinator. Ah yes, but as a co-ordinator doesn't that mean lots of meetings and working long hours? No. It does mean that you will be meeting more people in your village and getting to know what is happening in your village. A quarterly newsletter will require delivering to the properties you have agreed to look after and possibly the occasional "Be aware" flyer if news needs to be circulated quickly. The scheme requires us to hold a minimum of 1 meeting per year - the Annual General Meeting. So, if you are interested in the well being of your village, then I as Chairman, would like to meet you. The scheme has got off to a cracking start. We need more people involved to drive it forward. Don't forget there are other benefits of being signed up to the Todwick Neighbourhood Scheme:-
Household joining the scheme would be expected to pay £1 for the year. This year, Todwick Parish Council has said that it will pay the costs for each household in the village signing up for the Todwick Neighbourhood Watch Scheme. If you want to belong to the scheme, but not be a co-ordinator, I still would like to hear from you. Please phone me - Norman Anderson on 01909 770130 for further details.
