Neighbourhood Watch

Whaddon has had an active Neighbourhood Watch scheme since it was re-launched  in 2003 after a series of shed and car break-ins.  So successful did it become  after the re-launching that Whaddon won the South Cambridgeshire Community Safety Competition at the end of that year. 

There are 12 Coordinators at present, attending at least four meetings annually.  We have a close liaison with the local Community Beat Officer, and some delegates attend the Police run Cambridgeshire Neighbourhood Watch Executive Group Annual Conference in November.  Additional volunteers are always being sought to fulfil a role which is not onerous but is extremely important if Whaddon is to maintain its current low crime rate.  Anyone who would like to consider becoming a Coordinator should ring the Cluster Coordinator, Mike Monks in Bridge Street (01223 208236), for further information.   They will be given a warm welcome!
