 The whole point of Neighbourhood Watch is explained by its title - it is all about neighbours, neighbourhoods and how we can all work together to improve the safety, security, confidence and well-being of all members of our community. NHW is an "integral partner" with our police force in crime prevention and community safety.
Neighbourhood Watch Winchelsea publishes a regular newsletter with advice, police activity in the area, and useful information.

Check Your Neighbours
Many elderly people are often left sick or even dying alone now due to our increased security and safety awareness. If you have an elderly neighbour, make yourself known to them and say hello now and again. Take notice of any strange vehicles or people on their property.
