About Neighbourhood Watch - yes, we have a scheme running in our area (Brackenbury) and, yes, it does lead to a reduction in house insurance. Which goes to show that it works. Our NW has come and gone over the years but with the advent of police Safer Neighbourhood Teams it has recently been relaunched.It is not a police responsibility although the police will support it by attending meetings, giving advice and so forth. They are now keen on individual streets running their own scheme - presumably because they have found it works better that way.I would urge anybody who values Neighbourhood Watch and its benefits to get off the sofa and get organising. You can take it slowly - there's lots of advice on the website, but please don't just sit there and hope somebody else will do the work for you. Once you get going you'll find that others will join in.
