Meads Ward Neighbourhood Watch December 9th 2009 |

Neighbourhood Watch – Meads Ward This is an update by the Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator for Meads Ward. Also it is an invitation for you to help increase the NW schemes and gives the approach I would like you to take. Some of you may recall that we, the Eastbourne Neighbourhood Watch Association were challenged by the then local Police Commander at our 2007 AGM to increase our NW Coordinators by 50% in 2 years. The ten Ward Coordinators have worked assiduously helping each other and have made good progress. Our NW Coordinators have increased from 213 to 279 over the last 21 months and look on target for 300 by the end of 2009. The residences covered have increased from around 6000 to some 8500. However, there are some 44,000 residences in the Eastbourne boundary that could be involved. You’ll appreciate that collectively we have not met the target. But, Police statistics show that as we add more schemes crime is falling, not of course all due to us. Now with your help I would like to increase these numbers even more over the months ahead and continue to help with the improvement in our community and local neighbourhoods. As for the Meads Ward, I took over from Hetty Pitttendrigh who many of you will know, in November 2005. There were then 35 NW Coordinators for just over 1000 residences. The position now is 66 Coordinators covering some 1900 residences. My approach to introducing new schemes has been to start from the Downs periphery for Meads Ward and move towards the Town centre. The nearer I get to the Town the harder it becomes for me to find people who are willing to volunteer to become a Coordinator. So, now to how you might be able to help. I would like you please to review the list of roads below for the Meads Ward in which we would like to start NW Schemes. Hopefully, you’ll be able to identify whether you know of any contacts living in any of them, or for that matter any other road in Meads, or Eastbourne, that you or I could approach about becoming a Coordinator and starting a scheme. Your contacts could be family, friends, colleagues from work, clubs, gym, or any other affiliations. I would be pleased to hear from you either by telephone on: 647729 or email: roy.d.peacock@btinternet.com and thank you for helping to make Eastbourne, Meads Ward a pleasant and safe community. Meantime, please remember to call 999 in the case of an emergency OR an incident occurring, And, 0845 60 70 999 to report incidents and get a report reference. It is these reports that the Police use to determine how their resources are best deployed to overcome community problems.
