Chiselborough Neighbourhood Watch
Neighbourhood Watch in the United Kingdom is the largest voluntary crime prevention movement covering England and Wales with upwards of 2.3 million household members. Chiselborough has a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme. It is a community initiative, run by village volunteers and supported by the local police, with the aim of helping people protect themselves and their properties. Each street in Chiselbourough has a volunteer who informs neighbours, usually by email, about local crime updates and police advice. Good awareness of preventing and reporting crime is encouraged.
To receive the local crime update emails, discover more about the village scheme, help out or offer a suggestion, contact our village representative, Brian Wickins: E: docs@wickinsb.com T: 882626
