RESIDENTS’ UPDATE

“Bridge Down” Scheme
May 2012

 

The late Mr Trevor Jarman used to be the Volunteer Co-ordinator for this scheme,
covering Bridge Down, Higham Lane, Pippins Avenue and some of Bridge Hill. I am
now offering my services to take over this role and am writing to introduce myself.

It will be good to get our scheme active again, as this will mean that almost the whole
of Bridge will be covered by NHW and also that we would then be joining the nearly
one quarter of all the households in the Canterbury City Council District, who already
belong to and benefit from NHW membership.

Neighbourhood Watch is one of the biggest and most successful crime prevention
schemes ever. lt is a national movement based on simple ideas and values that are
shared by many people all around the country — of getting together with neighbours to
minimise any instances of crime and disorder so as to make one’s own neighbourhood
an even better and safer place to live.

There are other benefits of joining an “NHW” scheme — for example, you can learn
more about crime prevention and home security (including about bogus ‘callers’ on
your doorstep, telephone and internet), and often also get a discount on your home
insurance to reflect your much reduced likelihood of becoming a victim of crime if you
heed all advice sent to you.
