with the police This third report reflects on progress made on these
objectives and to look to future work planned or required to further achieve
our objectives. Support local coordinators and others involved in
neigbourhood watch Progress this year 1. Following the cancellation of last year’s coordinators
meeting, a survey was conducted asking if the meeting was of value and when
and where would suit most people. The response was good and encouraged us to
run a meeting this year. 2. The coordinators’ meeting was very successful this year,
with the theme of home security. 30 coordinators attended and, led by PCSO
Lizzie Sword-Daniels,
there was a lively discussion on home security issues based on looking at
photographs of houses and identifying the ways in which security could be
improved. 3. The newsletter has been produced on a regular basis with a
variety of topics covered. We are grateful to the police for funding this and
the Lewes Crime Reduction Partnership for assistance in producing the
newsletter. 4. We produced a handbook for members and distributed over
4500. This was funded by the Lewes Crime Reduction Partnership. Feedback has
been very positive. 5. Given we are not publicly funded, and rely on donations,
grants and support from others, we were delighted that Waitrose chose us as
one of their local organizations to support through their community fund.
People placed their green tokens in the boxes and we received £159, which
will help us defray the cost of future coordinators’ meetings, printing and
other expenses. 6. Gwyneth Watkinson left the committee due to other
commitments. We thank her for her contribution over the years Help recruit new members and establish new schemes Progress this year 1.
The association had a stand at
the Lewes Societies Fair on 17 July 2010 which was successful in meeting
people and recruiting new members 2.
During
the year we canvassed houses where the coordinator had retired or moved. As a result we
successfully replaced these coordinators and created new schemes 3.
Looking
back over the 5 years the Association has been active we see the following
figures. The gap for 2006 is because we did not record things properly that
year but the figures are somewhere between 2005 and 2007. We now have 196
coordinator covering 4846 houses. 4.
We have
had a regular slot in Lewes News for Neighbourhood Watch for the past three
years |

Further work 1. Identify areas in the district which need further support
to recruit members and coordinators Progress this year 1.
The
search team was called out on four days and attended two exercises this year.
Due to some retirements and resignations our numbers have fallen to 82, so a
recruitment leaflet was circulated in July. Hopefully we shall have
sufficient numbers of new volunteers to enable more training to take place
later on. 2.
Sergeant
Richard Bates joined the committee and provides a valuable link to the
police. Further work 1. The association needs to continue to work with PCSOs to
keep coordinators involved and informed of local issues Members
