Hi everyone

The next Newbury Neighbourhood Watch / West Berkshire Neighbourhood Watch Meeting is being held on Tuesday 4 February 2025 starting at 7.15 pm in the Waterside Centre, Waldegrave Place, Northbrook Street, Newbury RG14 1DS (entrance down the side of Camp Hopson).  We will be using the Kersey Hall. 

There is no parking available at the Waterside Centre but several car parks close by.

Our Guest Speakers will be:

Amy O’Brien and Andy Bridport - TVP who will be giving a presentation on “Contact Management: Understanding the Journey of a 999/101 Call” 

Phil Knight of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service – Phil would like to work closely with our communities, so please let him know of any community event where you would like them to attend and to offer advice.   Phil’s email address is:  knightp@RBFRS.co.uk

and

Inspector Matt Gow

If you have any particular issues that you would like comments on, please let me know so that the speakers can do some research and report back at the meeting.  
 
There will be crime prevention literature available.

Anyone is welcome to attend this meeting from all over West Berkshire, so please come along and bring any neighbours or friends, as it is important to have a good attendance for the speakers and I do appreciate your support.

If you do not have a Neighbourhood Watch scheme in your road and can set one up for me please, I can forward you more details.  A scheme can be anything from 5 properties upwards and the main role of a Coordinator is to circulate the Alerts on crimes and scams to your neighbours either via email or posting on a WhatsApp or Facebook Group for your area. You will receive free signs, stickers, leaflets and discounts for your neighbours.

I can be contacted via my e-mail address:  ajmy5m7@gmail.com or by phoning Newbury 40866 / 07774962641.  If you have a different email address for me, could you please use this one in future.  Many thanks.
