Each representative looks after a group of houses, their names are listed below. We need more representatives - could you be one?

• All our representatives and the co-ordinator all give their time freely without making any charge even for telephone calls or paper etc. We are proud of this achievement as you continually read in the press about villages paying someone to set up their Neighbourhood Watch. It has happened quite recently in villages nearby.

• Our objectives are to act as a link between the residents of the village, other Watch Groups, the Police and Internet crime.

• We would like you to be our eyes and ears, so please contact us so we can tell everyone else.

• Information we consider may safeguard you or your property is sent by email. These emails will not show your address to anyone else.

• The mailing list now contains 72 people who are being kept up to date

We are covered by the National Public Liability Insurance without having to pay a premium. Click to read the cover.
