| The Development
of Neighbourhood Watch in Cumbria |
A
comment by the Vice Chairman
A
revitalisation programme introduced in Kendal in 1994 has
now extended to embrace the whole of Cumbria. From modest
beginnings, it presently includes more than 2000 domestic
neighbourhood watch schemes together with an increasing
number of farm and hotel watches. This has contributed to
making our county one of the safest in Britain to live, work
and visit.
The
responsibility for the administration and advancement of
neighbourhood watch rests with the board of trustees of
Cumbria neighbourhood watch association, which is both a
charity and a company limited by guarantee and whose
registered office is in Carlisle.
With
the commitment and enthusiasm already shown by our members,
we are assured that our organisation will continue to expand
to benefit all the residents of Cumbria.
If you
have no neighbourhood watch scheme in your locality and
would be interested to receive details of how to proceed to
set one up, please contact your
nearest development officer.
