Make a Difference in 2026

This is a message from Val McPherson Area Neighbourhood Watch Representative and Administrator for Aylesbury

Many of our volunteers who have started Neighbourhood Watch schemes want to live, work and encourage a safer and stronger neighbourhood.

Setting up a Neighbourhood Watch scheme where you live can make a big difference. It is a visible step forward to building a safer community bringing neighbours and residents together with the clear message that crime and anti-social behaviour is not welcome here.

Running a Watch scheme is not a major commitment, as it takes  about a couple of hours a month. A scheme can be as small as 5 houses, or cover a Road/Street/Drive of 20 to 50 houses, or a block of flats or it can be a larger area covering a hamlet, or even extend into a village or small town.

One to one advice and guidance is given to all volunteers as well as providing free NW stickers, NW street signs and crime prevention information. 

So come on and join making it safer for you, your home, family and local community.

Please follow these steps:

  Go to www.ourwatch.org.uk and sign up

  Click on the tab “Find my local NW” and do the postcode search to  either  join a local scheme or set a scheme up yourself.

  If no local scheme visible where you live simply scroll down and map your road. Submit to apply to set up the new scheme and I will be in touch.

  Or if you prefer you can contact me first to discuss by emailing valpranddnhwatch@aol.com

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Val
