Neighbourhood Watch is a scheme set up in a street or village that aims to reduce crime and address other community problems.
Each member is asked to take care of their property, keep an eye on their area, look out for anyone or anything that is out of place, and report this to neighbours and where necessary, the police.
Crime information is also passed from the police to Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators, who then pass these messages on to members for the appropriate action to be taken.
The East Cambridgeshire Neighbourhood Watch Association covers the East Cambridgeshire district. It encourages the setting up of Neighbourhood Watch schemes and assists the police in distributing information to the schemes.
Regular meetings are held in the Council Chamber at The Grange, Nutholt Lane, Ely. All members are invited and encouraged to attend.
