Neighbourhood WatchWarren Road has been part of Neighbourhood Watch for many years, albeit rather low key of late. Recently I have been asked to be Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator as it overlaps to some extent with my duties as Secretary of the Friends of Warren Road. Aims of the scheme include encouraging residents to:- Observe and report to the Police suspicious persons or activity in the neighbourhood. Keep a watchful eye on each others’ home and cars when neighbours are out or away, hopefully to deter opportunist criminals eg checking that post is not spilling out of letterboxes or parcels are left on the doorstep. As appropriate, identify and assist vulnerable neighbours, especially if they have not been seen recently, or in times of bad weather. Identify anti-social behaviour, graffiti, vandalism, bad parking, poor street lighting, rubbish tipping etc and reporting to the police, Bromley Council etc. The scheme in Warren Road You are invited to join the scheme by letting me know whether you are happy for your email address or other contact details to be included on the Warren Road Neighbourhood Watch circulation list. I can then regularly update you with Neighbourhood Watch Newsletters as well as details of any other notable events relative to the area. Newsletters, etc, will also be posted on the notice boards at the top and bottom of Warren Road. Those of you who are members of The Friends of Warren Road will be contacted separately to see if you would also like to be members of Neighbourhood Watch. If you would like a window sticker to say we are in a Neighbourhood Watch Area then please contact me. I would welcome any other ideas from you as to how the scheme can be developed.
