If you would like to play an extra role in the community, then why not become a NHW coordinator! Past or present co-ordinators are very welcome to re-apply. Neighbourhood Watch Launches New Web Site! Our new website is up and running and you can access it at www.wiltshirenhw.org. New features on the site include links so you can contact the committee member representing your region of Neighbourhood Watch in Wiltshire and, if you know people who want to join Neighbourhood Watch, a new quick sign up form which replaces the long form on the old site. What's NHW All About? - It's basically about encouraging people in the community to keep an eye out for each other. That means keeping an eye on each others' property when someone is away from home, keeping tabs on any strangers. Looking out for the elderly. Getting to know the young people. With our regular police increasingly thin on the ground, it makes sense to have a backup network in place. What Do I Need In Order To Be A Coordinator? - Most importantly, the ability to talk to people. A telephone and Email is also pretty much essential these days. If you tend to be in and around the village during the daytime, then so much the better. What Sort of Area Does A Coordinator Look After? - The parish is divided into 19 NHW schemes (details here). Some of these contain only a couple of households, some (eg. Grants Road) are quite large and may need to be split again. I'm Hooked! - So What Do I Do Next? If you would like to be a co-ordinator then contact the current Area Coordinator, Richard Roberts, at chick.roberts@btopenworld.com.. At this stage he will just need your name, address and telephone number and an indication of which area you are volunteering to look after. |
