Cavendish Safer Neighbiurhoods Team hold street briefing in Cavendish.

On the 27th and 28th of April 2009, the Cavendish Safer Neighbourhood Team held street briefings in Bideford and Exmouth Road, Ruislip. The street briefings give the opportunity for the local community to come and discuss any disorder related issues they have been experiencing in order for the SNT to develop realistic and practical long-term solutions. It is our priority to establish a continued, valuable and supportive rapport between the Police and the public and the briefings have provided an avenue for this to be created. We received our best turn out yet, with many residents interested in our crime prevention advice and general reception in the area. As a direct response to the publics needs, we propose to introduce a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in Exmouth Road. NHW is a method of developing a close liaison between households, the Local Police and the Local Authority. The aim is to help people protect themselves and their properties, to reduce crime and the fear of crime. Neighborhood Watch helps the community to work in co-operation and partnership with the Police and Local Authority at all times to prevent and detect crime. Please contact the team if you so wish for a NHW scheme in your road and we will organize its launch. We also have Street Briefings and Public Meetings ongoing where you can express your views which will contribute towards better community relations.
