Neighbourhood Watch
There is a Neighbourhood Watch scheme in the village based on a system of local coordinators. All, or some, of the occupants of a small area of the village, a road or part of a road, decide that they wish to form a Neighbourhood Watch scheme and one of their number acts as the coordinator. That coordinator receives periodic alerts and updates from the police, which they can share with the members of their scheme. Most of the village is covered by these schemes. The whole premise is about being a good neighbour, looking out for others and supporting the police in reducing crime. The village coordinator is Paul Hotston.
