Neighbourhood Watch Volunteers -
Making a Difference
The Carlisle
Voluntary Service held a series of events to
celebrate National Volunteer Week throughout the 1st
– 7th June 2007. A number of our Neighbourhood Watch
volunteers attended the “Recognising Volunteers
Celebration” at Carlisle Rugby Club on 6th June.
Paul Caine,
Neighbourhood Watch Development Officer for North
Cumbria and Eden, said "It was a great night when
everyone was able to let their hair down and meet
volunteers from other organisations. However, we
have thousands of volunteers so I would like thank
everyone for helping Neighbourhood Watch to make a
difference, by Putting the Unity in Community”.

Alleygates
|
|
 |
|
This Alleygates project was funded by the Crime and
Disorder Reduction Partnership and cost
approximately £18.333
This Streetsafe was
arranged to link into the launch of the new
Alleygates Scheme. Carlisle City Council have
introduced the scheme in partnership with Cumbria
Police and other partners to help reduce anti-social
behaviour and crime by reducing unauthorised access
by people to back lanes and alley ways e.g. using
motorbikes or mini mottos to ride illegally through
the lanes. |
Open & Shut Case
Only residents will be
granted access to the lanes. It is anticipated that
Alleygates will be rolled out to a number of other
areas in Carlisle. For further information contact:

City Council on 01228 817011 |

This Streetsafe was held at Bassenthwaite and
Crummock Street on 22nd June 2007. The multi agency
team consisted of twenty people including
Neighbourhood Watch volunteers, Police and Fire
Service

crime and community safety issues in their area. |
