Neighbourhood Watch



As you may know, I was instrumental in helping to establish a Neighbourhood Watch scheme for the area between Tram, Doncaster and Wetherby roads. Here is a publicity photo taken for the Leader newspapers at the time. Whilst I contributed at the time by finding committee members and editing the first few NHW newsletters, there is always something every member of the community can do to help. Volunteers are required for a variety of activities, most importantly for distributing newsletters in the area. You can find out more at the neighbourhood watch website www.neighbourhoodwatch.com.au (we are in Region 4 Division 1). Between Nov 3 and 28th, there will be a NHW display at The Pines Library, where you can find out more. And on 26th November, there will be a Car Park audit at the Doncaster Park and Ride. Volunteers are needed to assist with distributing crime prevention leaflets between 7am and 9am. After 9am vehicles in the carpark will be checked for security and to see if items of value have been left on display in cars - remember, you can discourage theft from your vehicle by always taking valuables with you or ensuring they are concealed.
