Neighbourhood Watch

Watch schemes have been shown to be effective in reducing burglary, deterring bogus callers and bringing down the fear of crime. Although in Weare Giffrad the crime rate is so low already it is difficult to improve it. Part of the reason for this is that it is such a close community and the geography of the village makes it difficult for anyone to get up to no good without being spotted.

Nevertheless, like all watch schemes we receive crime information via an automated telephone system in addition to crime prevention advice to help improve home security.

Our Neighbourhood Watch scheme has had a positive effect in challenging bogus callers, reducing crime and the fear of crime and making our village safer.
